The opening chapter introduces "Corporal Fred," a narrative set against the backdrop of labor strikes surrounding railway operations, focusing on the Wallace family and their perspectives on the unfolding events. Through their interactions and worries, the book likely explores themes of family, duty, and the socio-political atmosphere of the time. The beginning of the publication paints a vivid picture of a warm June evening as the Wallace family congregates on their porch, discussing the local railway switchmen's strike that threatens to disrupt their lives. The family dynamic is established with various characters including the father, Mr. Wallace, a railway employee, and his two sons, Jim and Fred. Their discussions are marked by anxiety over the potential impact of the strike, which drives Jim to reflect on his duties as a railway conductor, while Fred is torn by his obligations as a corporal in the National Guard. The tension builds as both boys receive urgent calls to action, hinting at a looming conflict that will test their resolve and loyalty to family and country. This sets the stage for a deeper exploration of the challenges faced by individuals amid societal upheaval.
