Catalogue synopsis

Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:

"Shenandoah: A Military Comedy" by Bronson Howard is a military drama written in 1888. Set during the American Civil War, the play follows Northern Lieutenant Kerchival West and Southern belle Gertrude Ellingham, whose budding romance is shattered when Fort Sumter is fired upon. As the conflict rages through the Shenandoah Valley, loyalties are tested, lovers become enemies, and a web of mistaken identities and accusations threatens to destroy multiple lives before the war's end brings resolution.
