The opening of the anthology introduces one of its featured stories, "The Brigade Commander" by J.W. De Forest, which is set during the Civil War. The narrative follows Colonel Waldron, a complex figure admired for his military prowess but steeped in personal turmoil, as he prepares for battle with his regiment. Meanwhile, intimate tensions build between Waldron and Captain Fitz Hugh, who share a complicated past involving love and betrayal, setting up a high-stakes scenario filled with impending conflict, not just on the battlefield but also in their intertwined personal lives. The stage is set for a vivid exploration of camaraderie, duty, and the moral dilemmas faced by soldiers in war, which resonates throughout De Forest's storytelling.
