The Prussians have invaded and conquered Alsace-Lorraine and two orphaned boys begin a journey to the South to find their uncle. At each stop along the way, they discover new towns, gentle and hardworking people and essential traits of a good French citizen. They eventually establish a farm incorporating all the knowledge they've gained over their journey. It is a novel to teach and explain French morality, civic duty and inspire patriotism. And it was written by a woman under a male pseudonym! 1800s girl power!
