Project Gutenberg 2007-10-06 Public domain in the USA. 160 King, Charles 1844 1933 A War-Time Wooing: A Story E-text prepared by Juliet Sutherland, Janet Blenkinship, and the Project Gutenberg Online Distributed Proofreading Team "A War-Time Wooing" by Captain Charles King is a novel written in the late 19th century. Set against the backdrop of the American Civil War, the story explores themes of love and sacrifice, primarily through the characters of Bessie Warren, a young girl mourning the death of her brother, and Lieutenant Paul Revere Abbot, a soldier whose correspondence with Bessie becomes a poignant thread in their lives. As war rages, personal connections are deepened and complicated by the harsh realities of military life and loss. At the start of the tale, the narrative introduces us to Bessie Warren and her father, Doctor Warren, at a suburban train station as they await news from the frontlines. Bessie is revealed to be experiencing developing feelings for Lieutenant Abbot, a soldier who has only interacted with her through letters, igniting a hope that is entwined with the ongoing war. The opening hints at the emotional turmoil caused by war when Doctor Warren finds himself reconciling his daughter's affection for a stranger with the deep grief of having lost his own son to the battlefield. Such dynamics are set against a backdrop of military camaraderie, duty, and the unfolding tragedy of the war, suggesting a rich exploration of how personal narratives collide with larger historical events.
