Description
Captain Charles A. Curtis, U.S.A., wrote a boys' adventure novel published by Harper and Brothers in 1904. A captain narrator returns to Santa Fe, New Mexico, late in the Civil War's second year. There he meets Frank and Henry Burton, boys of about fifteen and thirteen. They hold honorary corporals' rank at headquarters.
Nineteen chapters follow the young corporals through attacks, traps, sieges, river crossings, stolen ponies, and desert marches without water. Navajo and Apache parties drive much of the danger, with Pueblo allies and a rescue campaign filling later chapters. Promotions to sergeant reward the boys' service. Curtis writes from an army man's knowledge of posts, patrols, and frontier routine.
