Summary "Chasing an Iron Horse; Or, A Boy's Adventures in the Civil War" by Edward Robins is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set against the backdrop of the American Civil War and follows a daring and adventurous plot that revolves around a young boy named George Knight. He becomes embroiled in a dangerous mission with Union soldiers, aiming to disrupt Confederate railways and aid the Northern cause. The opening of the novel introduces George and other Union soldiers, led by a man named Andrews, as they gather in the woods to discuss a risky plan to capture a train and burn strategic bridges in the South. The scene is set on a stormy night in Tennessee, where tension and excitement build as Andrews makes a compelling case for the mission. George, driven by the desire to join the fight and prove himself, takes a letter to Andrews and overhears the perilous details of the operation. The chapter establishes the stakes involved in their risky endeavor and introduces key characters, including the brave and resourceful George, setting up an adventure filled with suspense and determination.
