This work is part of a series known as "The Blue and the Gray," which explores themes surrounding the American Civil War, emphasizing patriotism and the valor of Union soldiers. The protagonist, Christy Passford, serves as the first lieutenant on the naval vessel Bellevite, where he embarks on a daring mission related to the blockade-running activities during the conflict. The opening of "A Victorious Union" introduces Captain Breaker and his executive officer, Christy, as they contemplate a strategic move to gather intelligence on a fast blockade-runner named Trafalgar. As the narrative unfolds, Christy is tasked with leading an expedition to explore the area around Fort Morgan, which includes engaging with local elements sympathetic to the Confederacy. The initial chapters set a tone of camaraderie, duty, and the unfolding tension of wartime responsibilities as Christy prepares to balance his roles as a naval officer and a patriot, determined to protect the Union against the backdrop of the Civil War's complexities.
