| Summary |
"Marcy, the Refugee" by Harry Castlemon is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Marcy Gray, a young Union loyalist from North Carolina, and depicts his struggles during the Civil War as he navigates a world filled with treachery and shifting loyalties. As the narrative unfolds, Marcy's interactions with Confederate sympathizers and the challenges his family faces create a vivid backdrop of conflict and moral dilemmas. The beginning of the story introduces Marcy's recent adventures, including a dangerous journey he undertook with his brother to enlist him in the Union navy. Upon returning home, he finds the plantation in turmoil, with his family's loyalties under threat from rebellious neighbors. Marcy grapples with feelings of responsibility as his mother becomes increasingly anxious over threats from local Confederate sympathizers. The arrival of rebel officers at their home deepens the tension, revealing a web of espionage and intrigue that both Marcy and his mother must navigate while considering the fate of their plantation and the hidden money that could endanger them.
