Dog Jack was a mascot of the 102nd Regiment P.V.V. Washington Infantry. Jack was with his regiment from 1861 to 1863 until he became a prisoner of war. He was captured by the Confederate Army at Salem Church Virgina. He was later exchanged for a Confederate Soldier. In this remarkable novel Florence Biros transports you back in time to the Civil War with the story of a runaway slave boy and his loyal dog. It is also the story of love and allegiance of the men of the Niagara Volunteers to their mascot and companion "Dog Jack."
Based on a true story, his picture hangs on the wall of the Soldiers Musuem in Pittsburgh. It includes a 14 page "living History Gallery" (actual photos of the reenactment of the 125th anniversary at Gettysburg) and other pictures throughout the book.

She became the accomplished author of more than 30 books. Among those were “Miracles,” “Lincoln,” “Christopher Fox” and “Dog Jack.” “Dog Jack” has been used for years in home schooling, schools, reading clubs, etc. One of her greatest joys had been going to schools and encouraging the kids to seek after their dreams. For her, the dream of her life came when “Dog Jack” – a Civil War novel – became a movie and premiered in Pittsburgh. She also published a yearly devotional, “Penned From the Heart.” --From her obituary at McGonigle Funeral Home.
