Watchfires is a play written by Tracy D. Mygatt and first published in 1917. The play is divided into four acts and is set during the American Civil War. It tells the story of a group of soldiers from the Union Army who are stationed in a small town in Virginia. The soldiers are struggling with the harsh realities of war, including death, injury, and the separation from their loved ones. The play explores themes of patriotism, loyalty, and sacrifice, as the soldiers grapple with the moral and ethical dilemmas of war. The title of the play refers to the watchfires that were lit by soldiers during the night as a signal to their comrades that they were still alive and fighting. Watchfires is a powerful and moving play that offers a glimpse into the lives of soldiers during one of the most tumultuous periods in American history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
