| Summary |
"The Campaign of the Jungle; Or, Under Lawton through Luzon" by Edward Stratemeyer is a historical adventure novel written in the late 19th century. The book is set during the American military campaigns in the Philippines following the Spanish-American War and primarily follows the exploits of the Russell brothers—Larry and Ben—as they navigate the challenges of warfare, loss, and personal responsibility. The opening of the novel introduces us to two of the three Russell brothers, Larry and Ben, as they grapple with the aftermath of battle and the implications of their military service. Ben, recovering from a bullet wound, is driven by a sense of duty to rejoin his company, while Larry reflects on their past adventures and the troubling situation involving a criminal named Braxton Bogg. As they discuss these matters, they are pulled into the complexities of both their military obligations and their familial ties, setting the stage for the ensuing action as they embark on dangerous expeditions under the command of the renowned General Lawton. The beginning hints at the themes of bravery, brotherhood, and the harsh realities of war, inviting readers to follow the brothers' journey through the jungles of Luzon.
