Set against the backdrop of the Civil War's first major battle, the story follows Dick Mason, a young soldier grappling with the despair of defeat. As he retreats with his comrades, he reflects on the unexpected turn of events that led to the Union's loss despite initial advantages. Haunted by the thought of losing the Republic he cherishes, Dick's scholarly nature deepens his sense of bitterness. The narrative explores themes of hope, sacrifice, and the emotional toll of war as he confronts the harsh realities of battle and its implications for the nation.
