| Summary | "Bobbie, a Story of the Confederacy" by Kate Langley Bosher is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The narrative revolves around Bobbie Tayloe, a young boy growing up on a plantation in the South during the Civil War era, exploring themes of childhood, friendship, loyalty, and the complexities of war. The story introduces a close bond between Bobbie and his body servant Peter Black, highlighting the dynamics of their lives against the backdrop of Southern society and impending conflict. The beginning of the novel establishes the character of Bobbie and his relationships with those around him. We learn about his playful spirit and his aspirations, particularly exemplified through his adventures with Peter Black. Their camaraderie is depicted vividly as they sneak off to race horses, ultimately resulting in a mishap that led to Bobbie's injury. The opening chapters also touch on familial ties and the plantation life before the outbreak of war, setting the stage for the broader conflicts that will surely unfold as Bobbie matures and faces the turbulent world around him. The narrative provides a nostalgic view of a bygone era infused with innocence, joy, and the soon-to-come harsh realities of war, which resonate throughout the story.
