P. Gratacap is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The narrative begins in April 1909 in Washington, D.C., where a series of political tensions surrounding the Panama Canal and its implications for American commerce are introduced, emphasizing the conflicting perspectives of southern and northern politicians. The text appears to explore themes of socio-political dynamics, personal relationships, and the effects of geopolitical maneuvers on individual lives. The opening of the book establishes Alexander Leacraft, an Englishman, observing a lively political debate that reflects the broader issues facing the United States as the Panama Canal nears completion. Leacraft's background as a secretarial figure in an English company and his affections for Miss Sally Garrett of Baltimore hint at personal stakes amid the national discourse. The chapter also introduces various characters who embody differing political ideologies, revealing the societal currents that will likely shape their interactions and the unfolding narrative. As the setting shifts towards upcoming events like Memorial Day at Gettysburg, it promises a blend of historical events with personal drama, raising anticipation for how these elements will coalesce as the story progresses.
