About this book

A regiment's departure fills Waterville with flags, patriotic songs and private farewells. Nearby in Upton, Lieutenant Philip King spends his last hours of leave with Grace Roberts and the Morton household. A young lawyer who has volunteered for the Federal army, Philip faces separation from the woman he hopes to marry. Grace's mother has insisted that the wedding wait until his return.

Edward Bellamy's short story moves from a family tea table to the night before Antietam, when Philip's regiment prepares for its first major battle. Soldiers talk quietly around their campfires while families at home endure anxious hours. Bellamy brings public enthusiasm for service into contact with the strain it places on personal affection.
