520 _a"The Exhibition Drama" by George M. Baker is a collection of theatrical works including drama, comedy, and farce, written during the late 19th century. The book is designed for amateur performances and home theatricals, making it suitable for private exhibitions, school events, and holiday gatherings. Among its featured plays is "Enlisted for the War," which focuses on the emotional struggles of a soldier named Robert Trueworth as he and his family face the hardships during the Civil War, including themes of love, sacrifice, and socio-economic strife. The opening of the drama introduces Robert Trueworth and his family as they come to terms with the loss of their family farm, sold to pay off debts. As Robert prepares to enlist in the Union army, the dialogue reveals the interconnected lives of Robert, his mother, and sister, Mattie, as they reflect on their past and the uncertain future ahead. Wilder Rowell, the farm's new owner and guardian to the wealthy heiress Gaylie Gifford, emerges as a complicated figure, indicating conflicts of interest that will impact the relationships and aspirations of the characters. The layered emotions and conflicts established in this initial scene lay the groundwork for a story rich with personal and societal challenges amid the backdrop of war.
