Summary "The Raid of the Guerilla and Other Stories" by Charles Egbert Craddock is a collection of short stories written in the early 20th century. The book taps into themes of love, loss, and the nuances of human character amidst the backdrop of the Civil War, often portraying life in the Great Smoky Mountains. The opening story presents Ethelinda Brusie, a spirited young woman caught between her loyalty to the Union and the dangers of war as her secluded community faces an imminent raid by a notorious guerrilla leader. The beginning of the collection introduces Ethelinda amidst anxious discussions among her family about an impending guerilla raid threatening their home in Tanglefoot Cove. As her family members express their fear and concern, Ethelinda reveals her involvements that could potentially endanger her—specifically, her willingness to aid Union troops. This setup creates a palpable tension as the characters wrestle with personal convictions, community loyalty, and the risk of reprisal in a precarious wartime setting. Ethelinda's character is fleshed out through her interactions with her family and the choices she makes, establishing a complex interplay of innocence, bravery, and moral dilemma against the backdrop of conflict.
