Summary "Where the Souls of Men are Calling" by Credo Fitch Harris is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set against the backdrop of World War I, the story revolves around the small town of Hillsdale and its residents as they grapple with the idea of war and its implications. Main characters include Colonel Hampton, a fervent supporter of the war, and Jeb, who struggles with the pressure of impending enlistment and his feelings for the returning nurse, Marian. At the start of the book, we are introduced to Hillsdale, a seemingly idyllic American town that is about to confront the harsh realities of war. The opening scene features Colonel Hampton expressing his outrage over wartime events, which resonates with the townsfolk, particularly the Tumpson sisters, who care for Jeb, a young man eager yet conflicted about war preparations. As Jeb interacts with Marian and grapples with his emotions, the looming threat of conscription creates tension, highlighting not only personal dilemmas but the broader societal conflicts that arise during times of war. The narrative paints a vivid picture of life in Hillsdale, steeped in both camaraderie and anxiety, set against the significant historical backdrop of World War I.
