| Summary | "For Love of Country: A Story of Land and Sea in the Days of the Revolution" by Cyrus Townsend Brady is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative is set against the backdrop of the American Revolution, focusing on characters who embody the spirit of the time. The main characters appear to include Lieutenant John Seymour and the beautiful Katharine Wilton, whose romance unfolds amidst the critical events of the war, highlighting themes of love, loyalty to country, and personal sacrifice. The opening of the book introduces Lieutenant Seymour, who is captivated by Katharine's beauty while they are out on a boat together. Their flirtatious conversation reveals both their growing affection and the societal pressures they face, particularly regarding their duties to their country during the Revolution. As they discuss the importance of patriotism and the need to prioritize the country over personal desires, the narrative sets the stage for the conflicts and dangers that are to come. Following this initial exchange, there is a sudden shift as raiders, loyal to the British crown, threaten Katharine and her family, leading to a dramatic confrontation that could have dire consequences for all involved. The reader is left with a sense of tension as the personal stakes rise amidst the larger national conflict. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
