Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Crisis — Volume 08" by Winston Churchill is a historical novel published in 1901. Set in St. Louis during the years before the Civil War, it follows Stephen Brice, a young lawyer with Union sympathies, as he becomes entangled with a Southern family in a deeply divided Missouri. Romantic tensions emerge among four characters whose loyalties clash over slavery and secession. Abraham Lincoln appears as a powerful moral force, his personal integrity transforming lives and bridging bitter divides in a nation hurtling toward conflict.
