Every soldier knows it: There's nothing more dangerous than a young lieutenant fresh out of the Academy -

While out on patrol, Blutch and Chesterfield encounter an unusual soldier: a woman wearing a Union uniform, who has come to join the army to look for her brother and uphold the family's honour -

Blutch and Chesterfield go up in an observation balloon to spy on the Confederate troops. When our heroes crash-land on their superiors, the generals send them behind enemy lines to try and free Stark, who has been captured on a previous sortie. A tricky mission, not only for our heroes, but also for the other side.

When love blossoms under fire, is this the end of the improbable duo?

Stark''s constant, reckless charging has once again depleted the 22nd Cavalry. Faced with an understandable dearth of volunteers, the Army''s brass drafts - without telling them some freshly arrived immigrants. And Blutch and Chesterfield are tasked with instructing them in the art of riding down the enemy. But there s a problem: the new recruits only speak Russian! And while those Cossacks are already fantastic riders, they have no desire to die for the glory of the Union...

The 10th volume of a humorous series that doesn't necessarily shy away from the horrors of war. Funny read and history lesson all in one-join Blutch and Chesterfield and...charge!

Sent to scout the enemy, Blutch and Chesterfield are chased by a Confederate patrol and forced to cross the Rio Grande to safety. 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...

General Alexander's Union army is out of horses, and it is now facing none other than Robert E. Lee himself. To rebuild the Northern Cavalry before the coming battle, Blutch and Chesterfield are sent to buy new mounts, with the help of legendary horse trainer Ben "Bronco Benny" Wilcox. But, first, they'll have to cross Rebel lines, face angry Indians, and deal with Benny's fascination with a very special horse named "Traveller..".

A flashback to the origins of the infernal pair!

Sergeant Chesterfield and Corporal Blutch, soldiers in the Union army during the Civil War, are captured by the Confederates and taken to Robertsonville prison camp, from which Blutch and the Sergeant try to escape five times. The camp commandant despairs, and Chesterfield and Blutch make a final attempt.
