Summary: "The Deserter and Other Stories: A Book of Two Wars" by Harold Frederic is a collection of short stories written in the late 19th century. The book explores themes related to the Civil War era, focusing on the lives of those affected by war, including deserters and their families. Central to the first story is Job Parshall, a young boy working on a farm, where he encounters Mose Whipple, a deserter trying to find his way back to his ailing father. The opening of the story introduces Job on a bitterly cold winter morning as he carries out his chores on the Teachout farm. During his tasks, he discovers a handmade ring that leads to discussions about Mose Whipple, who has deserted the army and is associated with Job's memories of his own family struggles. As Job learns of Mose's plight and his father's illness, he resolves to visit the ailing old man, leading to a fateful encounter with Mose in the barn. Their interactions reveal the harsh realities of their circumstances, underscoring the emotional weight of war's impact on individuals and families. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
