| Summary |
"North by Night" by Peter Burchard is a historical novel written in the early 1960s. The story is set during the American Civil War, specifically around the events taking place in 1863, focusing on the experiences of Union Lieutenant Timothy Bradford. The narrative delves into themes of camaraderie, conflict, and the human experience during war as it follows the journey of Bradford and his companions amidst the trials of battle and captivity. The opening of the novel introduces readers to St. Helena Island, where Bradford and his fellow soldier, Lieutenant Red Kelly, are stationed as Union forces prepare for an impending attack on Fort Wagner. They encounter a local fisherman, highlighting the complexities of the war and the relationships formed amid conflict. Through the dialogue between the soldiers and the fisherman, the atmosphere of tension and uncertainty is established as both men grapple with the realities of war, their own fears, and thoughts of loved ones back home. As the narrative progresses, it hints at the larger battles ahead, including their involvement in significant military events, ultimately leading to their captivity and the challenges they endure as prisoners of war.
