"Will I be a coward?" This is the haunting thought that torments every soldier as he enters his first battle. Into the fevered heat of the fight he advances. The roar of artillery deafens him ... the sight of his comrades falling all around him horrifies him. This is the gripping, stirring story of how one boy answered the question - either to stand and possibly die or to run away and later face his comrades and himself as a coward.
In the year 1856, I, Hermann Schultz, a German by birth, received a prize allowing me to study botany in Greece. In Athens, I boarded at the home of a man named Christodoulos. Every day, I went into the country to study plants, but I dared not go as far as I would have liked. Athens was surrounded by bandits. I am not a coward, as you will soon see, but I value my life. It is a gift from my parents and for their sakes I wish to preserve it as long as possible.
