George at the Fort; Or, Life Among the Soldiers
George at the Fort, published in 1882 in Harry Castlemon's Roughing It series, is an adventure story for boys set at Fort Lamoine, a cavalry post on the western frontier. Desertion is rife among the discontented recruits, and Corporal Bob Owens, a young soldier who once ran away from home in disgrace and is now trying to prove himself, is sent with a few picked men after the latest deserters. George, a young friend of the colonel who knows the plains and how to follow a trail, arrives at the fort and finds himself caught up in pursuits, captures and danger from hostile bands. Castlemon mixes action with plain lessons on honesty, courage and duty. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
