Synopsis
Excerpt from The Drummer-Boy of the Rappahannock: Or Taking Sides
Number of years ago, I had occasion to prepare for the Christian Intelligence? A story, Nurse Frye, which I copyrighted with the intention of working it up some time into book-form. That story is imbedded in this and it will account for any resemblances noticed. The present narrative, though, is entirely differ ent in its purpose, and includes the former only as an incidental part. Let me state the purpose of the book. Perhaps some boy, some girl, may get from this story an idea of what their fathers and mothers passed through when young, and when over the land brooded the dark cloud of the great Civil War. Some one, too, may esti mate more fairly the blessings enjoyed in this land today because slavery crumbled and per ished in the war. One purpose in this book is to encourage its readers to promptly take sides.
