American writer Stephen Crane is best known for his classic depiction of the American Civil War in his novel "The Red Badge of Courage". It is the story of a 19-year-old boy named Henry Fleming who struggles to overcome his fear in battle. "The Red Badge of Courage" is widely regarded for its realistic depiction of a young man in battle and of the true meaning of courage. In addition to this classic novel several other of Crane's more popular shorter works have been added. These stories include the following: "The Veteran", "The Open Boat", "The Bride comes to Yellow Sky", "The Blue Hotel", "A Self-Made Man", "A Mystery of Heroism", "A Gray Sleeve", "Three Miraculous Soldiers", "The Little Regiment", "An Indiana Campaign", and "An Episode of War".

Cowardice and Courage,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Red Badge of Courage, The Open Boat and Other Stories (Kindle Edition)
Stephen Crane's classic story of cowardice and courage. What transforms him from a soldier who faced the charging Confederates and ran to a soldier who returns to the front and does heroic deeds? It strikes me that Frank Loesser's WW II infantry song "The Ballad of Roger Young" holds the key. Roger Young was the very young (no pun intended) soldier from small town Ohio who gave his life in the Pacific jungle to save the lives of his fellow soldiers and justly earned the Congressional Medal of Honor. The song tells it, "Shines the name, Roger Young, fought and died for the men he marched among." Not for country; not for freedom; but for the men he marched among. And the same is true for Stephen Crane's young soldier who returns to the front not to save the union but to be shoulder to shoulder with the other men in his unit whom he has grown to love and will no longer abandon.
