Summary "The Star of Gettysburg: A Story of Southern High Tide" by Joseph A. Altsheler is a historical novel written during the late 19th century. This book is part of a larger series that explores the events of the American Civil War, centering on the experiences of young Southern soldiers, with the main character being Harry Kenton, a spirited youth who embodies the hopes and trials of the Confederate army as they navigate the challenges of war. The opening of the novel introduces readers to Harry Kenton and his comrades as they recuperate by the Opequon River after a series of intense battles. The narrative unfolds with their camaraderie and reflections on past conflicts, such as Antietam, while highlighting their bonds and light-hearted banter. The chapter progresses as they receive news of General Jackson's new promotion and illustrates the peculiar blend of youthful exuberance and the sobering reality of war. As they engage in conversations about their hopes for victory and personal anecdotes, it sets the stage for the unfolding drama of the Civil War and character development throughout the story.
