Publisher Description

"The Little Regiment" is a short story written by Stephen Crane, an American author and journalist. The story is set during the American Civil War and focuses on a small group of Union soldiers, referred to as "The Little Regiment," who are tasked with defending a position against Confederate troops. The story begins with a description of the soldiers as they wait for the enemy to attack. The soldiers are nervous and uncertain, but they are also determined to do their duty. As the attack begins, the soldiers fire back, but their position is quickly overrun. The soldiers retreat, but they are eventually able to regroup and hold off the Confederates. Throughout the story, Crane explores themes of fear, bravery, and the harsh realities of war. He also portrays the soldiers as individuals, each with their own thoughts, feelings, and fears. Despite the soldiers' courage, the story ends on a somber note, as the surviving soldiers reflect on the loss of their comrades and the toll that war has taken on them. Overall, "The Little Regiment" is a powerful and poignant portrayal of the human cost of war, and it remains a classic of American literature.
