About this book

A Decoration Day parade sets young Ramsey Milholland asking his grandfather what fighting in battle felt like. The boy imagines himself marching beside the band, while the older man recalls fear and explains his belief in freedom and the Union. Their conversation gives Booth Tarkington's novel an opening built on the distance between a child's easy certainties and an adult's memories.

Later, university life brings Ramsey into debates and awkward encounters with other people's opinions. After a debate, he and his roommate Fred react in astonishment as a senior praises Miss Yocum's ability and appearance. Talk turns from campus personalities to the war in Europe, which still seems remote to the students.
