"Who Goes There? The Story of a Spy in the Civil War" by B.K. Benson is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The narrative unfolds against the backdrop of the American Civil War, chronicling the life of Jones Berwick, a young man grappling with his own peculiar memory affliction while serving in the conflict. His experiences are intertwined with his interactions with Dr. Khayme, a mysterious and philosophical mentor, and the challenges faced on the battlefield, capturing the essence of a young soldier's journey amid a tumultuous period in American history. The opening of the book introduces the protagonist, Jones Berwick, who reflects on a childhood memory loss that has haunted him since a youth accident. As he recounts his past, we discover the pivotal role of Dr. Khayme, a wise figure who influences Jones's mental resilience and perspective on life. The narrative quickly transitions into Jones's enlistment in the army as he prepares to face the realities of war with the Eleventh Regiment. With the marching orders ringing in his ears, we see the stark contrast between the romanticized notions of battle and the harsh truths that lie ahead, setting the stage for a poignant exploration of bravery, memory, and the human spirit during the Civil War.
