Summary: "A Lincoln Conscript" by Homer Greene is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The narrative is set during the American Civil War, capturing the divided sentiments of families and communities regarding loyalty and duty. The story centers around Bob Bannister, a boy caught between his love for his father, Rhett Bannister, an outspoken opponent of the war and a suspected "copperhead," and his own fervent patriotism. At the start of the book, we are introduced to the tumultuous atmosphere of July 1863, with tensions high as the Battle of Gettysburg rages. Young Bob struggles with the dishonor that comes from his father's anti-war stance, leading to his exclusion from local patriot groups. The chapter reveals the complex dynamics within Bob's family, highlighting the contrasting beliefs held by his father and the community and setting the stage for a conflict rooted in familial loyalty versus patriotic duty. As societal pressures mount, Bob finds himself torn between the ideals of loyalty to his father and his desire to serve and uphold the Union cause. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
