Summary "The Return of the O'Mahony: A Novel" by Harold Frederic is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story is set against the backdrop of the American Civil War, focusing on the experiences of soldiers in a beleaguered company. It introduces Zeke Tisdale, a veteran soldier, and Andrew Linsky, a new recruit, exploring camaraderie and conflict amidst the harsh realities of war and the complexities of identity. At the start of the narrative, readers are introduced to Zeke Tisdale, regarded as the unofficial leader of Company F, who is known for his bravery in combat but has failed to earn a promotion due to his behavior during peacetime. As Company F waits in the muddy Virginia wilderness, they encounter a group of new recruits, including Linsky, an awkward Irishman. The interactions among the soldiers reveal a mix of camaraderie and prejudice, particularly towards Linsky, who struggles to find acceptance in the company. The tone reflects on the burden of war, survival, and the chance encounters that can significantly alter the course of lives, as Zeke and Linsky’s paths seem destined to intertwine dramatically in the face of impending conflict.
