T. Trowbridge is a historical fiction novel written in the mid-19th century. The story revolves around the character Penn Hapgood, a young schoolmaster in Tennessee, who faces violent opposition from secessionists due to his abolitionist beliefs during the Civil War. Throughout the narrative, themes of courage, moral conviction, and the harsh realities of societal conflict emerge as Penn navigates dangerous circumstances in his fight for justice. The opening of the book sets a tense and foreboding atmosphere as Penn is threatened by a mob seeking to punish him for his anti-slavery stance. After being warned by Carl, a German boy who admires him, Penn decides to face the aggressors rather than flee, showcasing his commitment to non-resistance and moral integrity. Meanwhile, Carl’s own struggle to escape the mob emphasizes the perilous environment in which they live. As the scene unfolds, the tension escalates with the mob's intentions becoming clear, illustrating a pivotal moment for Penn that threatens his life and beliefs, and establishing the urgent narrative that will follow.
