Summary "The Prisoner of the Mill; or, Captain Hayward's 'Body Guard'" by Harry Hazelton is a historical novel written in the mid-19th century. The narrative is set during the tumultuous period of the American Civil War, focusing on themes of honor, duty, and the horrors of war. The story revolves around Captain Hayward, who faces premonitions of tragedy as he prepares to engage with rebel forces, and his devoted sister Mamie, who braves the battlefield alongside him, leading to deep emotional conflicts and suspense. The opening of the book introduces the reader to a camp of Union soldiers, anticipating battle while simultaneously grappling with personal fears and forebodings. Captain Hayward is troubled by the dangers posed to his beloved sister, Mamie, whom he must protect amid the chaos of war. We also meet William Nettleton, Hayward's devoted servant, who becomes a central figure in the struggle to uncover the truth behind a tragic murder that has shaken the camp. The early chapters set in motion a plot filled with intrigue and tension, as suspicions arise and friendships are tested, establishing a gripping atmosphere that promises further adventure and emotional resonance as the story unfolds.
