Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"Joscelyn Cheshire: A Story of Revolutionary Days in the Carolinas" by Sara Beaumont Kennedy is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. Set amidst the backdrop of the American Revolutionary War, the story revolves around the lives of two neighboring families, the Cheshires and the Cleverings, highlighting their differing loyalties as they navigate the complexities of love, independence, and conflict. The tale primarily features Joscelyn Cheshire and Richard Clevering, whose banter evolves alongside the broader battles for freedom. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Richard Clevering, who proudly dons a Continental Army uniform, igniting admiration and playful teasing amongst the local ladies, particularly from Joscelyn Cheshire, who disapproves of his allegiance to the revolutionaries. Their interactions are filled with witty exchanges that reveal a deeper connection beneath the surface conflict; Richard's feelings for Joscelyn become apparent despite their quarrels. As he prepares to march to war, the narrative highlights their dynamic and foreshadows the challenges they will face in a nation torn apart by revolution, setting the stage for personal and political struggles in the chapters to follow.
