Horace Clifford, a bright, impulsive Hoosier boy, makes candy, camps out, takes a journey with his sister Grace and visits Grandpa Parlin, where he meets his cousins Susy and Prudy. In the years of the Civil War he becomes captain of a company of small boys and proudly wears a Zouave suit, though his schemes to get rich and his scrapes in the woods teach him what being brave and truthful means.
