A Soldier of the Legion

Zusatztext

A Soldier of the Legion by C.M. Williamson is about a determined soldier who must fight hard to protect the ones he loves. Excerpt: "It was the great ball of the season at Fort Ellsworth. For a special reason it had begun unusually late; but, though the eighth dance was on, the great event of the evening had not happened yet. Until that should happen, the rest, charming though it might be, was a mere curtain-raiser to keep men amused before the first act of the play. The band of the th was playing the "Merry Widow" waltz, still, a favorite at the fort, and only one of the officers was not dancing. All the othersyoung, middle-aged, and even elderlywere gliding more or less gracefully, more or less happily, over the waxed floor of the big, white-walled, flag-draped hall where Fort Ellsworth had its concerts, theatricals, small hops, and big balls."
