| Summary | "The Last Three Soldiers" by William Henry Shelton is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. Set during the American Civil War, the story follows three young soldiers—Philip Welton, Corporal George Bromley, and Lieutenant Frederick Henry Coleman—as they navigate a treacherous landscape brimming with danger and adventure. Their journey is marked by themes of friendship, patriotism, and the harsh realities of war, as they find themselves entrusted with a critical mission atop a mountain. At the start of the narrative, the trio embarks on a secretive nighttime expedition led by the guide Andy Zachary. They are part of a larger military operation linked to General Sherman's army, which is engaged in critical battles in the South. The soldiers’ arrival at their mountaintop signal station is filled with tension and anticipation, revealing their youth, backgrounds, and motivations for enlisting. The opening sets the groundwork for their hardships, including challenges posed by nature, their emotional growth, and the looming specter of war, as they begin to comprehend the responsibilities weighing heavily upon them in these tumultuous times.
