"The Sun of Saratoga: A Romance of Burgoyne's Surrender" by Joseph A. Altsheler is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story revolves around the events leading up to British General Burgoyne's surrender during the American Revolutionary War, focusing on themes of duty, loyalty, and the complexities of war. The main character, Dick Shelby, is tasked with guarding a crucial point during the conflict, navigating challenges that include both military and personal dilemmas, particularly surrounding his interactions with the Van Auken family, who are divided in their loyalties. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to Dick Shelby, who is on guard near the Van Auken house, monitoring for British messengers. His serious mission is underscored by the weight of responsibility he feels for the fate of the colonies. As he interacts with Sergeant Whitestone and encounters Kate Van Auken, whose family supports the British, tensions arise around their different allegiances. The chapter sets the stage for conflict and intrigue, with a hint that Kate may be planning to act against Dick’s mission, raising questions about trust and betrayal that will likely underpin the narrative as it progresses.
