ken writes the following about Numbering All the Bones :
Numbering all the bones” by Ann Rinaldi is about a young house slave that lives through the ending of the civil war and gets to see how the captured union troops are treated only because her brother is one of them in the prison who was captured and token to the Andersonville prison which is considered one of the worst prison in the North and South. Also how she becomes free and does when she is once free after the war Which she meets William Griffin and helps him fix and organize the Andersonville prison and properly bury the troops that died there.
The strengths of the book would have to be how it included the treatment of the union captives. Also it would have to be how it describes the prison after the civil war is over.
