"In 1876, a green lieutenant named Crofton barely escapes the Little Big Horn--where before his startled eyes Custer is killed by his own outraged men--only to find that his own adventures have just begun. Over the next three years, curiosity, fate and the schemes of others will take Crofton halfway around the world. Along the way he will encounter such figures as Grant, Sherman and Hayes; get shot, find love, endure betrayal--and somehow through the crucible of blood and fire, arrived at something that might be called wisdon.".

Hardcover. Condición: Very good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Very good. First Printing [Stated]. [8], 275, [5] pages, In 1876, Crofton, a young second lieutenant, embarks on a series of extraordinary adventures that lead from Little Bighorn, from which he escapes just before Custer is killed by his own men, halfway around the world to a rebellion in Cuba and the Zulu war in East Africa, getting shot, finding love, enduring betrayal, and discovering wisdom along the way. Keith Coplin is a professor at Colby College in Colby, Kansas. He holds a BA and an MA in English from the University of North Texas, an MFA in creative writing from the University of Maryland, and a Ph.D. in contemporary literature from the University of Kansas. His articles, short stories, and poems have appeared in The Mark Twain Journal, The Saturday Evening Post, Cimarron Review, Forum, and other publications. Coplin has won the Washington Post Book World Award for Fiction. Derived from a Kirkus review: The adventures of a young lieutenant in the post-Civil War army are balanced with his sweet private lifeâ"in a debut from a Kansas-based professor near retirement age. Lt. Michael Crofton's young career takes him from Little Big Horn to the Zulu wars in South Africa via London and revolutionary Cuba, bringing onstage the likes of Rutherford Hayes and William Tecumseh Sherman, but there is neither grandiosity nor bombast. Coplin's tone is so artful and his hero, a West Point graduate from a prosperous Rhode Island family, is so genuinely modest that time flies dreamily in a tale that ends long before Crofton has worn out his welcome. And it all seems possible. As Coplin reminds us, the army in the 1870s had shrunk to 25,000, and Washington was still a small city, so the operators of the national machinery were just down the street. The very likable young Lt. Crofton's story begins with his fortunate escape from the carnage at the detested General Custer's last stand followed by his failure to dodge a bullet from the derringer in the hand of the breathtakingly pretty and young prostitute he will marry upon recovery. Leaving the skillfully sketched frontier, Crofton puts in purgatorial time sorting through army supplies with politically wired Lt. Sorenson. Sorenson's congressional connections put the young men into the thick of an unsanctioned, possibly presidential plot to meddle in the outcome of Cuban revolutionary activities. More purgatory follows, this time in the national cemetery, and then it's off to England through the worst of winter on a clipper ship, followed by a stint with the King's Guards and a suicidal stand against the Zulus. As the adventures pile up, Crofton pines for his sweet young family. This is all so fresh as narrated by the superbly modest soldier that it seems likeâ"wellâ"life. Excellent work by a self-described "overnight success" who's spent the past 40 years trying to get a novel published. Stan Clark (Author photograph) (ilustrador).…
