It is a brave and noble action when a soldier, burning with love for his country, rushes into conflict and faces the cannon's mouth. But far braver is the pickett guard, who knows that each moment lengthens the distance between him and his friends, and makes more certain his capture or slaughter by the foe... A drama in real life, 'Uncle Beebe: An American Civil War Narrative' retraces episodes of the American Civil War. The firing of rebel guns reverberating through hills and valleys aroused men and women of the loyal North to the highest pitch of excitment and patriotism. And the enthusiasm of the people was directed to the raising of volunteer forces. In this story of one such volunteer regiment, the Thirty-Third New York State Volunteers, the author takes the reader into the battlefield to feel the pulse of the soldiers who fight for the love and honor of their country.
