Summary "Si Klegg, Book 6" by John McElroy is a historical fiction novel written in the early 20th century. This installment continues the adventures of Si Klegg and his partner Shorty during the American Civil War, this time focusing on their experiences as they lead a group of young recruits into the Atlanta Campaign. The narrative captures the challenges of military life and the camaraderie among soldiers, especially highlighting the comedic and sometimes chaotic dynamics of training new soldiers in a wartime context. The opening portion introduces us to Si and Shorty as they navigate their responsibilities of looking after a squad of inexperienced recruits, including the young and comically anxious Pete Skidmore. The recruits are thrown into a series of humorous predicaments as they acclimate to military life, highlighting their naivety through playful interactions and misunderstandings. Amidst the humor, there are moments of genuine concern and reflections on the harsh realities of war, setting the stage for the recruits' development as they begin to learn the ways of the army. The tone is light-hearted yet tinged with the underlying tension of the ongoing war, suggesting a blend of comedy and drama that characters in this series are known for.
