Summary "On The Blockade" by Oliver Optic is a novel written in the late 19th century. This work is part of "The Blue and the Gray" series, set during the American Civil War, focusing on the naval conflicts along the Southern coast. The story centers around Christy Passford, a young commander in the United States Navy, as he navigates the dangers of blockade running and encounters treachery among his crew. The beginning of "On The Blockade" introduces Christy Passford, who is reluctantly leaving his previous ship, the Bellevite, as he takes command of the United States Steamer Bronx. The narrative captures his complex emotions about his new role and the seriousness of his mission, revealing crucial intelligence about blockade runners and suspected Confederate vessels. The dialogue between Christy and his father, Captain Passford, hints at the importance of duty, loyalty, and the impending threats they face, establishing a sense of tension as they prepare for Christy's journey into enemy waters.
