Synopsis
Excerptand money spenders, and their descendants are the same. We've wanted to get rid of them ever since 1830, and now we are going to do it.

"I go with my State, and you will have to go with yours or show yourself a traitor.""A traitor to what?" inquired Marcy."To your State," Billings almost shouted."My State hasn't seceded yet; but if she does, and I go with her, how will I stand in regard to the old flag--the one that waves over this academy?"Billings tried to answer, but his voice was drowned in the wild shouts

À propos de l'auteur
Charles Austin Fosdick (September 6, 1842 – August 22, 1915), better known by his nom de plume Harry Castlemon, was a prolific writer of juvenile stories and novels, intended mainly for boys. He was born in Randolph, New York, and received a high school diploma from Central High School in Buffalo, New York. He served in the Union Navy from 1862 to 1865, during the American Civil War, acting as the receiver and superintendent of coal for the Mississippi River Squadron. Fosdick had begun to write as a teenager, and drew on his experiences serving in the Navy in such early novels as Frank on a Gunboat (1864) and Frank on the Lower Mississippi (1867). He soon became the most-read author for boys in the post-Civil War era, the golden age of children's literature.
