Harper's Round Table, July 2, 1895
Produced by Annie McGuire
"Harper's Round Table, July 2, 1895" by Various is a periodical publication likely composed in the late 19th century. This collection features a mix of stories, plays, and practical articles geared towards youth, capturing the spirit and amusements of the time. A prominent portion explores themes of adventure and camaraderie, particularly illustrated in the tale of a group of boys in a small town during a turbulent period in American history, focusing on their imaginative aspirations and the realities of war. The opening of the collection introduces us to three boys in Middleton, Ohio, during the Civil War, grappling with the absence of their fathers and older brothers who have gone to fight. They sit on a fence, discussing their dreams of becoming soldiers and reminiscing about a letter from one of their captured friends, which reflects their longing for the excitement of wartime adventures. As they contemplate the upcoming Fourth of July, thoughts turn to a makeshift celebration of their own, leading them to discover a hidden cache of gunpowder, igniting plans and mischief that highlight both their innocence and the gravity of their circumstances. The story sets a tone of youthful bravado against the backdrop of the Civil War, hinting at the larger themes of loyalty, bravery, and the burden of conflict that will be explored further in the publication.
