| Summary | "Ahead of the Army" by William O. Stoddard is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set during the Mexican-American War and follows characters such as Lieutenant Ulysses S. Grant, who is depicted as a young officer in the American army, and Ned Crawford, a boy caught in the turmoil of this conflict as he travels on a ship bound for Veracruz, carrying contraband supplies for the Mexican forces. The novel immerses readers in the complexities and challenges of war, exploring themes of patriotism, loyalty, and the human experience in the face of conflict. The opening of the book introduces the setting on the Texas coast as Ulysses Grant wakes to the sound of cannon fire, signaling the beginning of significant military action. It highlights the tension and anticipation among the American soldiers who are eager to march into battle. Concurrently, Ned Crawford embarks on his journey aboard the Goshawk, unaware that he is involved in a mission that may pit him against his own country. As he grapples with conflicting loyalties and the realities of war, the narrative sets the stage for a tale of adventure, danger, and personal growth against the backdrop of a nation on the brink of change.
