Summary "Evelyn Byrd" by George Cary Eggleston is a historical romance novel set during the tumultuous period of the American Civil War, likely written in the early 20th century. The narrative explores the lives and character of Virginians, with a particular focus on the experiences of the main characters amidst the challenges of war. The story introduces Captain Marshall Pollard and sergeant-major Owen Kilgariff, whose valor and humanity emerge as they confront the grim realities of battle while striving to protect others, including the titular character, Evelyn Byrd. At the start of the novel, the setting is established during a rainy day on the banks of the Rapidan River, where the Confederates prepare for an impending conflict. Captain Pollard and Kilgariff are introduced as they manage a battery and engage in skirmishes against Federal forces. The tension of war is palpable as they face moral dilemmas, including the necessity of destroying a friendly plantation home to eliminate a threat. During their actions, Kilgariff heroically rescues Evelyn Byrd from a burning house, showcasing both his bravery and the kindness that underlies their military duties. As the characters navigate the chaos of war, themes of sacrifice, heroism, and the profound effects of conflict on personal lives begin to unfold. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
