First Shots a Tale of Pride and Cowardice in War
The narrative follows Harry Gijon, a self reliant youth in a Civil War era unit, who avoids danger and shirks duty at camp. His peers view him as a coward for fleeing risks while imagining he will remain exempt from hardship. A sergeant later confirms his absence as illness, sealing his reputation as the group’s timid kid glove seller.
