Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Lost Army" by Thomas W. Knox is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set during the early stages of the American Civil War and revolves around two young boys, Jack Wilson and Harry Fulton, from Dubuque, Iowa, as they seek to enlist and contribute to the Union cause. Their journey unfolds against the backdrop of the war, which is characterized by fervent emotions and contrasting viewpoints about loyalty and rebellion. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Jack and Harry, who are eager to enlist as soldiers but face the challenge of their youth, being just under sixteen years old. As they explore the recruiting office and engage with potential soldiers, they learn about the war's implications, including the significant political strife in Missouri, with the complexities of Southern secession and loyalty to the Union. The opening chapters vividly depict their ambitions, the burgeoning conflict, and a community in suspense, setting the stage for a narrative focused on personal growth, loyalty, and the harsh realities of war.
