Chapter 1 Summary: As The Red Badge of Courage opens, we do not know precisely where we are or whom we are watching. As the fog clears gradually, we see a part of the Union army upon a riverbank. Rumors are flying among the troops about their own movement. One soldier, named Jim but always referred to by his tall height, tells his comrades that he has heard, through several sources, that they will be on the move on the next day. Arguments break out between the soldiers whether this rumor is true. The attention then shifts to another private named Henry. The narrator rarely refers to him by his first name, rather as "the youth" or "the young soldier." He sits in his tent and thinks about the possibility of finally going into battle. He had before joining the army dreamed of grand battles that "thrilled him with their sweep and fire"; and he seems to desire a "Greeklike" or "Homeric" struggle. His mother had discouraged him from joining, saying "'Henry, don't you be a fool.'" He enlists anyway, and upon learning so his mother only cries two tears and says, "The Lord's will be done, Henry." However, when Henry finally leaves, his mother does not try to convince him to be a hero, as he expected.
