Summary: "Captain Jim" by Mary Grant Bruce is a novel written in the early 20th century, likely during the years following World War I. The story revolves around Jim Linton, Wally Meadows, and Norah Linton, who are grappling with the legacy left to them by their friend, John O’Neill, after his death in battle.

The opening of the novel introduces the characters as they discuss O'Neill’s poignant letter recounting his friendship with them and expressing his hopes for the house to be used for a noble purpose.
