Charles King
Written by a former cavalryman who personally experienced Indian warfare on the western plains,
An Army Portia tells a story of romance and honor defended (during a court-martial) on a U.S. Army base somewhere west of the Mississippi in the late 1880s, a peaceful base from whence soldiers are rotated into and out of the various Indian war zones.
Charles King’s novels never fail to reveal the intimate knowledge he possessed of Army life in every particular (see the rest of our
Charles King Collection), which, when added to his natural talent as a storyteller, makes for first-rate historical fiction.
