"The Guns of Shiloh: A Story of the Great Western Campaign" by Joseph A. Altsheler is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The book captures the emotional and turbulent experiences of soldiers during the early days of the American Civil War, specifically focusing on the experiences of the protagonist, Dick Mason, as he navigates through the effects of the devastating battle of Bull Run and prepares for the impending conflict at Shiloh. At the start of the narrative, we meet Dick Mason, a thoughtful and earnest Union soldier caught in the chaos of the retreat after the Northern army's defeat at Bull Run. As the retreat unfolds, we witness his despair and resolve while he encounters fellow soldiers, including the strong and optimistic Sergeant Whitley, who provides encouragement. Throughout this opening, the groundwork is laid for themes of bravery, camaraderie, and the psychological toll of war. Dick's longing for his cousin, Harry Kenton, who fights for the South, underscores the personal conflicts that arise from familial ties torn apart by the war. As the Union army prepares for future battles, the stage is set for a gripping exploration of loyalty and the harsh realities of conflict. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
