Rifles for Watie by Harold Keith
With fighting erupting around his Kansas farm, 16-year-old Jefferson Davis Bussey can hardly wait to join the Union forces. When he infiltrates Colonel Watie's Confederate camp as a spy, he discovers the enemy is much like himself -- only fighting for a different cause. Stand Watie is the leader of Cherokee raids in the western campaign of the United States Civil War!
Jeff Bussey grows up during his experiences in this dark and difficult war. He encounters all sorts of people, good and evil. Comment here on the book and also on a character of your choice using the idea that difficult circumstances made Jeff Bussey a stronger man.
