"Lanier of the Cavalry; or, A Week's Arrest" by General Charles King is a military novel written in the early 20th century. The book revolves around the lives of cavalry soldiers stationed at Fort Cushing, capturing the challenges and interpersonal dynamics of military life. Central to the narrative are Lieutenant Bob Lanier and his fellow soldiers, alongside the strong-willed Dora Mayhew, as they navigate the complexities of duty, rivalry, and personal relationships in a frontier setting. The opening of the story vividly sets the scene as the sun sets over the Platte River. It introduces Dora Mayhew, who anxiously awaits the return of Trooper Rawdon and Lieutenant Lanier, both of whom she holds great affection for. The atmosphere quickly grows tense when Sergeant Fitzroy, known for his aggressive demeanor, confronts Rawdon, leading to a dramatic exchange that reveals the underlying tensions among the soldiers. The stage is set for conflict, both personal and professional, as the characters deal with issues of authority, loyalty, and the implications of their actions within the military hierarchy. This opening effectively combines rich descriptions and character dynamics, drawing readers into the unfolding drama of army life. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
