About this book

The Soldier Boy, or Tom Somers in the Army, is described as a story of the Great Rebellion and is by Oliver Optic. The narrator calls the principal village Pinchbrook Harbor, which contained two stores, four churches, one wharf, a blacksmith shop, and several shoe and bucket manufactories. Captain Somers, the head of the family, was master of the schooner Gazelle, as far as his wife and children knew, and to purchase the vessel he had heavily mortgaged his house and lands in Pinchbrook to Squire Pemberton.

A soldier is held by Tom, who exclaims "Hands down!" and pricks the soldier's arm with the bayonet attached to the musket. Tom went home to Pinchbrook after he had sat for his picture, and the text says Tom was laughed at and Jenny made fun of him.
