| Summary | "The Atlantic Monthly, Volume 17, No. 104, June, 1866" by Various is a literary magazine published in the mid-19th century. This edition showcases a blend of essays, poetry, and narratives that reflect the cultural, political, and social sentiments of its time, particularly in relation to the American Civil War and its aftermath. The opening story, "Quicksands," immerses readers in the lives of those affected by the war, depicting their devotion to soldiers and their struggles with personal loss. The beginning of "Quicksands" introduces a group of women gathered at a sewing circle to create clothing for soldiers fighting in the Civil War. The narrator expresses her conflicted feelings towards Percy Lunt, one of the members, while reminiscing about her nephew Robert, who has just enlisted. This setting reflects the emotional weight of the war on families and communities, illuminating the hopes, heartbreaks, and changes that war brings. As the women work together, themes of loyalty, sacrifice, and the bonds of love emerge, setting the stage for intricate personal and communal challenges that unfold as the story progresses.
