| Summary | "A Tame Surrender: A Story of The Chicago Strike" by Captain Charles King is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around Miss Florence Allison, a spirited young woman navigating her relationships and societal expectations amid the backdrop of the Chicago Strike. The novel explores themes of love, social class, and the dynamics between characters influenced by the turmoil of labor disputes. The opening of the novel introduces the main character, Miss Florence Allison, and her various encounters, including a chance meeting with Mr. Floyd Forrest aboard a steamer, which spurs a developing bond between them. Through lively descriptions, the narrative paints Florence as a well-loved, carefree young woman and contrasts her with the reserved, introspective Forrest. As their connection deepens, the story hints at conflicts related to societal expectations and familial expectations, setting the stage for further developments as they navigate their intertwined fates against the backdrop of the looming strike in Chicago.
