Douglas is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the life of a young girl named Kathie Alston, who, amidst the backdrop of the Civil War, grapples with themes of patriotism, sacrifice, and moral courage as those around her prepare for the realities of war. The narrative provides a keen glimpse into the familial and societal expectations of the time as characters like Uncle Robert and young Robert Alston contemplate enlistment while Kathie takes on responsibilities at home. The opening of the novel introduces readers to a lively conversation among young characters, highlighting the naive yet enthusiastic thoughts of Robert Alston regarding the draft and the responsibilities of serving one's country. As the draft looms closer, the complex emotions about enlistment and duty come to the forefront, particularly for Uncle Robert, who is considered a potential soldier. The conversations touch on the nature of bravery, patriotism, and individual responsibility, setting a foundation for the tumultuous events that are likely to unfold as the story progresses. As Kathie navigates her personal life, the opening chapters hint at her deepening understanding of sacrifice and duty against the backdrop of a war that affects them all.
