# The Lost Army Author: Knox, Thomas Wallace, 1835-1896 Genre: Category: Historical Novels Language: English License: Public domain Source: https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/45071 Amazon editions: https://www.amazon.com/s?k=The+Lost+Army+Knox&tag=cyberlibrar00-20 ## Summary This conversation took place between two boys of Dubuque, Iowa, one pleasant morning early in the year 1861. They were Jack Wilson and Harry Fulton, neither of whom had yet seen his sixteenth birthday. They were the sons of industrious and respectable parents, whose houses stood not far apart on one of the humbler streets of that ambitious city; they had known each other for ten years or more, had gone to school together, played together, and at the time of which we are writing they were working side by side in the same shop. ## Chapters - [CHAPTER XXXIV.
