"Fighting for the Right" by Oliver Optic is a historical novel likely written in the late 19th century. This captivating story is set against the backdrop of the American Civil War, focusing on the themes of duty, honor, and patriotism. The protagonist, Lieutenant Christy Passford, is determined to fight for the Union and is depicted as a character of high moral standing, bravery, and dedication to his cause. The opening of the narrative introduces us to Christy Passford as he has recently recovered from wounds sustained during a naval engagement. His father, Captain Horatio Passford, expresses concern over Christy’s readiness to rejoin duty. Their conversation reveals Christy’s eagerness to return to action, and he is reassured by his father’s acknowledgment of his past bravery. As the plot unfolds, we learn about a special mission involving a suspicious ship, the Ionian, suspected of carrying contraband to the Confederates, setting the stage for an adventurous pursuit that will challenge both Christy's resolve and skills. The narrative intricately weaves elements of both familial bonds and the larger patriotic duties that lie ahead for its characters. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
