R. Crockett is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. Set during the tumultuous period following the Franco-Prussian War, it explores the events surrounding the Commune in the Midi region of France. The story is narrated by Angus Cawdor, a young Scottish boy navigating the complexities of war, friendships, and rebellion alongside his companion, Hugh Deventer. The opening of the narrative introduces Angus and Hugh, who observe the unfolding conflict from their school in Aramon. As tensions rise due to labor issues at the nearby Small Arms Factory, the boys become fascinated by the chaos, longing for adventure and a sense of purpose. The air is thick with revolutionary fervor, and the protagonists are caught between their sheltered school life and the encroaching reality of insurrection. Angus is particularly drawn to the potential for heroism and escape as they consider joining Garibaldi's red-shirted volunteers. The chapters develop the setting and character dynamics, establishing a backdrop where personal conflicts intertwine with national crises, setting the stage for the boys' impending adventures in the turbulent world of the Commune.
