The story revolves around young Horace Clifford, a spirited boy living in Indiana with his family, who dreams of being a soldier. Throughout the narrative, Horace navigates childhood adventures, including mischief, friendship, and the challenges of growing up, while grappling with the realities of war as his father serves as a captain in the army. At the start of the novel, we meet Horace and his sister Grace as they enjoy a lovely evening, looking at the stars and discussing their dreams. Horace's desire to become a soldier is evident as he engages in playful banter and lively imaginations about their father’s role in the army. Their innocent childhood is contrasted with the mention of impending dangers, as Mr. Clifford prepares for battle. The opening sets the stage for both lighthearted adventures—including making candy and camping out—and foreshadows the themes of loss and responsibility that will significantly shape Horace’s character as the story progresses.
