| Summary | "With Lee in Virginia: A Story of the American Civil War" by G. A. Henty is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The book explores the American Civil War, focusing on the experiences of Vincent Wingfield, a young Virginian on the brink of manhood, as he navigates the complexities of loyalty, morality, and the institution of slavery while striving to do what is right in a time of conflict." "The opening of the story introduces us to Vincent Wingfield, a boy of almost sixteen, who resides on a Virginia plantation owned by his mother, Mrs. Wingfield. Vincent's upbringing has instilled in him a sense of justice and kindness towards the enslaved people on the estate, yet he grapples with the harsh realities of slavery and the tensions between the North and South. Following his father's recent death and with a stern overseer wielding authority, Vincent finds himself in conflict with Jonas Pearson, the overseer, particularly when he intervenes to prevent the punishment of a slave. As political tensions rise and the threat of war becomes imminent, Vincent's moral dilemmas, familial loyalties, and emerging understanding of the world around him begin to unfold, setting the stage for his adventures during this turbulent time."
