The Granite Toad is a story of overcoming some of the basic fears of youth like change, accepting new people into ones life and standing up for what is right. Two young brothers, Joseph, James, and their cousin Maria are upset when they learn their favorite place to play is going to have a house built there soon. They are upset until they find a small magical stone on the build sight that transports them to a wonderful clubhouse built into a huge mahogany tree. The tree house is at the base of a hill where they play, until they notice a big two-story slave plantation at the top. Meanwhile, the neighbors cat, Sophie, has also been sneaking through to the past with them and is spotted by many, which wreak havoc on the superstitious slaves. They are discovered by a young black girl named Emma, where they play all day, feeding a big steed and running across the hillside together. Until the young girls plantation owner, Master Garrett Thurman II discovers she has not been doing her chores. The three children have to rescue Emma from her angry owner and change history. When they return to their own time they ace their history test that they would have failed. If it had not been for the knowledge they gained while in the past. The story begins in 1871 when Emma has first turned eight years old and is going to have a birthday. Eventually she encounters the eerie white cat that the other fieldsmen have been telling everybody about. Emma learns the animal is just a cat and overcomes her fear and superstition.
In early April 1861, the streets of West Chester, PA, echoed with the sound of a rattling snare drum. The orders it marked out could be heard for blocks around – about face, advance, retreat, company rest – but there were no troops in the city to hear it. The Civil War, though it loomed heavy on the minds of everyone in the nation, had not yet begun. Fort Sumter would remain in Union hands for another two weeks and the secession crisis in the south was yet still only a war of words. But on the one hundred block of Barnard Street, the children had already mustered. The children were already marching. And Charley King, a boy of only 11, was leading them. In a matter of days, the war would start in earnest. In just a few months, Charley would march with the 49th Pennsylvania Infantry into the heat of battle. And in just under a year and a half, he would become the youngest enlisted soldier to die in the American Civil War. Charley marched with Company F, tapping out the cadence and relaying orders as they fought in the ill-fated Peninsula Campaign, traveled in the long slog through Maryland during Robert E. Lee’s first invasion of the North, and faced down enemy artillery in the woods north of Sharpsburg at Antietam Creek. That battle remains the bloodiest day in American history. Charley and twenty-two thousand other Americans were killed or wounded that day. Charley’s final resting place is unknown, but he is memorialized in West Chester at Greenmount Cemetery where his mother and father are buried. Using a wide range of sources, this unique history reconstructs Charley’s short life and the tragedy of his claim as the youngest soldier to die in the American Civil War.
