Project Gutenberg 2006-05-05 Public domain in the USA. 69 Fox, John, Jr. 1862 1919 Fox, John Fox, John William, Jr. Crittenden: A Kentucky Story of Love and War Produced by Roger Frank and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net" "Crittenden: A Kentucky Story of Love and War" by John Fox Jr. is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story is set during the backdrop of the Spanish-American War and follows the protagonist, Clay Crittenden, a young man wrestling with his personal identity and the legacies of his family's involvement in various wars. Throughout the narrative, themes of love, duty, and the conflict between personal desires and societal expectations are intricately woven as Clay navigates his feelings for Judith Page amidst the looming threat of war. The opening of the book introduces Clay Crittenden as he returns home to Kentucky after a month spent in the backwoods. There is a palpable sense of internal conflict; Clay grapples with his past struggles and the prospect of another war, hinted at by the arrival of a call for volunteers. The serene beauty of the spring landscape contrasts with the heaviness of wartime memories and familial expectations. As he reflects on his heritage—his family's history of fighting in wars—Clay realizes he must confront not only the external battles around him but also the personal turmoil tied to his unfulfilled love for Judith Page. This sets the stage for an exploration of Clay's character as he stands at the crossroads of duty, service, and love. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
