Summary "Shoulder-Straps: A Novel of New York and the Army, 1862" by Henry Morford is a historical novel written in the mid-19th century. The story is set during the American Civil War and follows the lives of various characters in New York as they navigate the intricacies of friendship, love, and conflict. The main characters introduced in the opening chapters are Walter Lane Harding, a reserved merchant, and Tom Leslie, a free-spirited journalist, as they encounter the complexities of society amidst the backdrop of war. The opening of the novel sets a vivid scene as Harding and Leslie exit a theater and witness a disturbing incident involving a woman from the city's underbelly and a brutish man. This incident acts as a catalyst for Harding to reflect on the moral dilemmas of their time, while also establishing Leslie's previous acquaintance with Dexter Ralston, a mysterious figure whose allegiances remain uncertain. As the story unfolds, themes of honor, duty, and the personal impact of the Civil War begin to emerge, showing how the characters' lives interconnect amid the turmoil of a nation in conflict.
