Description
Charles King tells a soldier's courtship in Kitty's Conquest, from J B Lippincott Company of Philadelphia in 1890, copyrighted in 1884. King had written The Colonel's Daughter. A short preface confesses that the incidents occurred some twelve years before, and the story was mainly written then.
The tale opens just after Christmas, with the narrator leaving his cosy New Orleans home on a business trip through the counties where Tennessee meets northern Mississippi and Alabama. On the slow train toward Iuka he marks his fellow passengers, six in all, and one young lady, girlish and pretty, worth a second glance. His glances repeat themselves.
