The book recounts the author's childhood experiences during the Civil War, providing insight into the complexities of life in the Confederate South from a child's perspective. The narrative focuses primarily on the author's family, particularly his father, who was a physician and an active participant in the conflict. At the start of the narrative, the author introduces his family background, detailing his father's medical practice and his political involvement in the secessionist movement. The father becomes a political prisoner for refusing to take an oath of allegiance to the Union, leading the family to travel through various locations to reunite with him in Richmond. Along this journey, the author shares vivid observations of the bustling cities, the wounded soldiers they encounter, and interesting characters from both the Confederate and Union sides. The opening establishes a backdrop of familial loyalty, societal upheaval, and the stark realities of war as seen through the eyes of a young boy.
