| Summary | "A Yankee Girl at Antietam" by Alice Turner Curtis is a historical fiction novel written in the early 20th century. The book follows the experiences of a young girl named Roxana Delfield, known as Roxy, during the tumultuous period of the Civil War as she navigates her friendships and ideals while living in Maryland. The story is likely set in the summer of 1862 and explores themes of friendship, loyalty, and the impact of war on personal lives. The opening of the story introduces Roxy, who runs down a path from her grandmother’s farm to meet her friend Polly Lawrence, emphasizing their friendship and the cultural divide between Northern and Southern girls during the Civil War. As they interact, Roxy grapples with her identity as a "Yankee" and the tensions inherent in her friendship with a Southern girl. When Roxy encounters Confederate soldiers and a runaway Union soldier, her innocence clashes with the realities of war, setting the stage for her internal struggles and the adventures to come. The opening establishes a historical backdrop that influences the girls' lives and showcases Roxy's spirited character as she makes her choices amidst the chaos surrounding her.
