E-text prepared by Al Haines
"Betty at Fort Blizzard" by Molly Elliot Seawell is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds at a military post in the Northwest, centering around Colonel John Fortescue and his family, particularly his wife and their daughter, Anita. The narrative explores themes of family life, military duty, and the dynamics of love and relationships against the backdrop of a bustling military community. At the start of the tale, Colonel Fortescue observes the activities at Fort Blizzard from his office window, providing a detailed depiction of the fort’s surroundings and daily life. As he watches his wife, Mrs. Fortescue, and their daughter ride into the plaza, the Colonel's stern demeanor reveals his protective nature, particularly regarding his family's safety and choices. The interactions between the Fortescue family members, including their spirited discussions about horses and military life, showcase both their affection and the challenges of maintaining order in their lives. The arrival of Lieutenant Broussard hints at budding romantic tensions, especially with Anita, propelling the narrative into themes of youthful love and parental concerns amidst the vibrant and sometimes chaotic life at Fort Blizzard.
