Union soldier, Henry Fleming. During a very heated battle between the Union and Confederate armies, we follow Henry’s path to overcoming his fears and cowardice. We watch him grow from the youth who dreams of battle, glory and honor even though he is unsure of his courage; into “a quiet manhood, nonassertive but of sturdy and strong blood.” (Chapter 24) As the story begins Henry reflects on his life before enlisting. Henry’s view of battle at this time is very juvenile and plays out like…
