New Book-Two Roads,  by Joseph Bruchac

There is a boy named Cal who is on a journey with his veteran father. They lost their farm due to their bank failing, and Cal’s school closed down. His father tells the story of the war he was into his son, and Cal’s imagination drifts off to what he believes happened. They set up camp and some snares for rabbits when an older gentleman rides up on a horse. He seems to recognize Cal’s dad as a veteran, and they speak about what division they were assigned. Cal’s dad explains where they were going, and the older man says that it is twenty miles from where they are. The man tells them where to go, but says in half a mile, is his place. His wife is there, and to tell her Red Campbell sent them, and she’d help them more than he could.
