The opening tale follows Hilary Knox, a young mountaineer yearning for adventure, as he navigates the challenges of war and personal identity in East Tennessee during a time of conflict. The story explores themes of courage, the longing for action, and the complexities of young ambition amid the backdrop of war-torn landscapes and shifting allegiances. At the start of "The Bushwhackers," we meet Hilary Knox, a sixteen-year-old boy who is captivated by dreams of enlisting in the army and joining the fight for his country, despite his mother's apprehensions. He spends his days anxiously watching for signs of cavalry in the mountains, longing for the thrill of military life. When he finally gets the chance to enlist, he feels a mix of excitement and apprehension, especially as he bids farewell to his childhood friend Delia, who expresses her fears about the dangers he will face. Throughout the opening chapter, we witness Hilary's internal conflict between youthful bravado and the harsh realities of courage as he grapples with his aspirations in a world fraught with uncertainty and danger.
