Fairly easy to read. Produced by David Garcia, Juliet Sutherland, Charles Franks, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team. "Frank on the Lower Mississippi" by Harry Castlemon is a historical novel set during the mid-19th century, specifically against the backdrop of the American Civil War. The story follows a young Union officer named Frank Nelson as he navigates the complexities of warfare along the lower Mississippi, including his adventures in pursuit of enemies, camaraderie with fellow officers, and his promotion to executive officer on a naval vessel. The opening of the book sets the stage for Frank's experiences after the Union captures Vicksburg. Eager to explore the city and reclaim its significance, he admires the victorious soldiers and reflects on his role in the war. Soon, he finds himself aboard the USS Boxer, where he encounters his cousin, Archie Winters, newly appointed as the ship's paymaster. Their dynamic is highlighted in the face of danger as Frank becomes involved in intense skirmishes with guerrilla fighters and devises bold plans for ambushes, while Archie displays a contrasting blend of trepidation and enthusiasm as he acclimates to naval life. The stage is effectively set for a series of adventures involving military strategy, personal bravery, and familial bonds amidst the tumult of war.
