Summary:
The adult Bayard narrating the novel years later pauses to reflect on what he is about to tell — he notes there is a limit to what a child can accept or understand as it is happening (in this case, his father's capture of Union soldiers with just the boys to help), but over time, can recognize how "incredible" it was.
