| Summary | "Brave Deeds of Union Soldiers" by Samuel Scoville, Jr. is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This work chronicles acts of bravery exhibited by Union soldiers during the American Civil War, celebrating both prominent figures and ordinary individuals who displayed remarkable courage in dire situations. The author aims to inspire readers by recounting tales of valor, suggesting that heroism can emerge from anyone, regardless of status. The opening of the book introduces the concept of bravery through an account of a lesser-known confrontation during the Civil War. It highlights a regiment that faced an entrenched enemy across a swollen river, where their commanding officer, Colonel Brownlow, persistently rallied his troops to take action despite insurmountable odds. The scene unfolds as the men stripped down and embarked on a daring assault across the river, ultimately catching their adversaries off guard and capturing a number of Confederate soldiers. This narrative captivates readers by emphasizing not just the strategic importance of their mission, but the personal sacrifices and grit demonstrated by even the most ordinary soldiers in extraordinary circumstances.
