      "The hilarious adventures of a pair of unlikely friends across the bloody fields of the American Civil War. The 16th volume of a humorous series that does not shy from the horror and absurdity of war. A quiet day in the Union Army ... Soldiers are resting, Blutch and Chesterfield are arguing, and the generals are plotting strategy. Things change suddenly with the arrival of a new regiment, sent as reinforcements to counter the imminent arrival of the Confederates. With them is a young dog, Sallie, who's been on every battlefield with her uniformed masters, and who takes an immediate liking to Chesterfield, to the point that she accompanies him on a dangerous scouting mission..."--Publisher

      "A new recruit makes the mistake of asking Blutch to tell him about the infamous battle of Bull Run... in public! The hostility of the other Union soldiers is immediate, yet Blutch eventually explains the reason for it. That battle, the first major one of the war, which had seemed to the North like such an inevitable victory that masses of civilians had gone to watch it as spectators, ended in a complete rout. And Blutch and Chesterfield were there."--Provided by publisher

But that safety is relative: stuck between Apache bandits and Mexican outlaws, our two Bluecoats have no choice but to disguise themselves as civilians - Blutch as a peasant, Chesterfield as a monk. But the nearby village is eagerly awaiting its new 'padre', and the villagers aren't fooled by the deception...
