Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Fighting Starkleys; or, The Test of Courage" by Theodore Goodridge Roberts is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers around the Starkley family, particularly Peter Starkley, as they navigate the challenges and changes brought about by war. With themes of bravery, family ties, and the test of character, the unfolding narrative explores the dynamics of rural life during wartime. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Beaver Dam, a farming community where the Starkley family lives. Peter, along with his siblings Dick and Flora, enjoys a simple life filled with hopes and dreams for the future. However, as war breaks out, Peter grapples with the implications of enlistment and the impact it will have on his family. The opening chapters establish the relationships and aspirations of the Starkley children while hinting at the personal sacrifices that will define their coming experiences, particularly in the face of significant historical events.
