The Guns of Bull Run A Story of the Civil War's Eve by Joseph A. (Joseph Alexander) Altsheler CHAPTER I NEWS FROM CHARLESTON It would soon be Christmas and Harry Kenton, at his desk in the Pendleton Academy, saw the snow falling heavily outside. The school stood on the skirt of the town, and the forest came down to the edge of the playing field. The great trees, oak and ash and elm, were clothed in white, and they stood out a vast and glittering tracery against the somber sky. The desk was of the old kind, intended for two, and Harry's comrade in it was his cousin, Dick Mason, of his own years and size.

Little happened in 1859 that would have told Americans there were on the precipice of a continent-wide war and the end of the most powerful slave society in the world. Yet, within eighteen months of the end of 1859 conflict descended on the nation and familiar characters were playing unfamiliar roles. Robert E. Lee was in command of troops at Harpers Ferry. Tom Jackson was a math professor at VMI, though he will lead cadets to ensure order at the hanging of John Brown at the very end of the year. Sam Grant was a bill collector in St. Louis, and "Cump" Sherman was heading a military school in Louisiana. Jefferson Davis was a senator, and Abraham Lincoln was a successful lawyer and failed senatorial candidate.

In August 1860, no one would have conceived that the upcoming presidential election would unravel the United States of America and precipitate a war between its parts, one that would claim more lives than all its other wars combined. Told through the lens of West Point classmates and graduates, THE PARTING is a fact-based narrative of the impulsive descent of the nation from peace to war from August 1860 to the First Battle of Bull Run, July 1861. It is also the epic love story of West Point cadet John Pelham from Alabama and the beautiful Clara Bolton from Philadelphia, aspiring to be the country's second female doctor and who has never seen a slave. John Pelham is a first-classman (senior) at the Academy and the most popular and gifted man in the Class of 1861. Clara is a senior at Clermont College for Women on Long Island, facing an uphill battle to become a doctor in a profession reserved for men. The story unfolds against the backdrop of West Point and interwoven themes of states' rights, slavery, Democratic and Republican parties, abolitionists of the North, fire-eaters of the South, the election of Abraham Lincoln, the secession of Southern states, the formation of the Confederacy, the resignations of Southern cadets and officers, the posturings intended to avoid war, and the bombardment and surrender of Fort Sumter on April 14, 1861, that dashed all hopes for peace. Juxtaposed against flash-forwards leading to the climactic ending of the First Battle of Bull Run, the story flashes back to West Point to the idyllic time of August 1860, moving forward to the stark reality of war.

They were equal favorites with teachers and pupils.Dick's eyes followed Harry's, and he, too, looked at the falling snow and the white forest. Both were thinking of Christmas and the holiday season so near at hand. It was a rich section of Kentucky, and they were the sons of prosperous parents. The snow was fitting at such a time, and many joyous hours would be passed before they returned to school.The clouds darkened and the snow fell faster. A wind rose and drove it against the panes. The boys heard the blast roaring outside and the comfort of the warm room was heightened by the contrast. Harry's eyes turned reluctantly back to his Tacitus and the customs and manners of the ancient Germans. The curriculum of the Pendleton Academy was simple, like most others at that time. After the primary grades it consisted chiefly of the classics and mathematics. Harry led in the classics and Dick in the mathematics.

Harry's eyes turned reluctantly back to his Tacitus and the customs and manners of the ancient Germans. The curriculum of the Pendleton Academy was simple, like most others at that time. After the primary grades it consisted chiefly of the classics and mathematics. Harry led in the classics and Dick in the mathematics. Bob Turner, the free colored man, who was janitor of the academy, brought in the morning mail, a dozen letters and three or four newspapers, gave it to Dr. Russell and withdrew on silent feet. The Doctor was principal of Pendleton Academy, and he always presided over the room in which sat the larger boys, nearly fifty in number. His desk and chair were on a low dais and he sat facing the pupils. He was a large man, with a ruddy face, and thick hair as white as the snow that was falling outside. He had been a teacher fifty years, and three generations in Pendleton owed to him most of the learning that is obtained from books. He opened his letters one by one, and read them slowly. Harry moved far away into the German forest with old Tacitus. He was proud of his Latin and he did not mean to lose his place as first in the class. The other boys also were absorbed in their books. It was seldom that all were studious at the same time, but this was one of the rare moments. There was no shuffling of feet, and fifty heads were bent over their desks. It was a full half hour before Harry looked up from his Tacitus. His first glance was at the window. The snow was driving hard, and the forest had become a white blur. He looked next at the Doctor and he saw that the ruddy face had turned white....
