Summary "From Bull Run to Appomattox: A Boy's View" by Luther W. Hopkins is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book presents a personal narrative from the perspective of a young soldier who served in the Confederate cavalry during the American Civil War. In this work, Hopkins aims to shed light on the often-overlooked experiences of boys and young men in the conflict, illustrating their contributions and viewpoints as they faced war. At the start of the narrative, the author reflects on his youthful enthusiasm for war, as well as the build-up of tension in Virginia leading to the Civil War. He recounts his observations and interactions with fellow schoolboys who aspired to join the Confederate ranks, highlighting their motivations and misconceptions about the reality of battle. The opening also introduces critical historical events like John Brown's Raid and Lincoln's election, framing the youth's understanding of the impending conflict while emphasizing a nostalgic longing for his simpler, pre-war childhood. Overall, the beginning establishes a personal, engaging tone, offering insight into the youth’s perspective on historic events that shaped a nation. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
