Summary "Frank Before Vicksburg" by Harry Castlemon is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. It follows the adventures of Frank Nelson, a young naturalist and soldier during the Civil War, as he navigates both the dangers of military duty and the joys of returning home. The story is set against the backdrop of the Union's military campaigns, particularly focusing on the events around Vicksburg, highlighting the trials and tribulations faced by soldiers. The opening of the book introduces Frank as he returns home safely after a tumultuous period of service, reflecting on the sacrifices made and the pain endured by his family during his absence. Frank's reunion with his mother and sister is bittersweet, showcasing the joy of homecoming and the lingering sorrow from losses faced during wartime. As he shares stories from his adventures, including his capture and narrow escapes, the narrative sets the tone for the blend of excitement and challenges that define his character. His interactions with fellow soldiers, especially his friend Harry who is wrestling with his own brother's fate as a prisoner, underscore the emotional weight of the conflict and the camaraderie among those affected by it.
