Dunn is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative is set against the backdrop of the American Civil War, specifically during the tumultuous year of 1861 in Central Kentucky. The story revolves around the complexities of loyalty and brotherhood during a time of deep national division, prominently featuring the characters Frederic Shackelford and Calhoun Pennington as they navigate their allegiances amidst the conflict. The opening of the narrative introduces us to Frederic and Calhoun, cousins who quickly become embroiled in heated political debate about Kentucky's neutral stance in the war. Their passion leads them to make a solemn oath of friendship, anticipating the inevitable trials they will face. This moment sets the stage for the action to come, as Frederic later accepts a critical mission from the dynamic Lieutenant General William Nelson, who seeks to uphold Union interests in Kentucky. The chapter efficiently establishes the characters' dynamics and the broader historical context of the conflict, hinting at themes of bravery and the moral complexities of war that will unfold throughout the novel.
