Summary "In the Saddle" by Oliver Optic is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. This work is part of "The Blue and Gray - On Land" series and presents a narrative centered around the Lyon family, who find themselves embroiled in the Civil War. Main characters include Deck Lyon, a young cavalryman, and his cousins, who represent contrasting loyalties during the turbulent times of the Rebellion. The opening of the novel introduces a tense situation involving a small farmer, Swinburne Pickford, who is being assaulted by Sandy and Orly Lyon over an unpaid debt. Deck Lyon, upon hearing Pickford's cries for help, intervenes just in time to prevent further violence. The dynamic between the Lyon brothers highlights the rising tensions of loyalty and betrayal, representative of the larger conflict in the South. As the chapter progresses, the reader is drawn into the personal and political struggles shaping the characters’ lives against the backdrop of the Civil War.
