Sommario/riassunto

Set against the backdrop of the Sioux War, Marion's Faith is a sequel to author Charles King's most popular novel, The Colonel's Daughter. In this story, a detailed account of cavalry life is offered, with an emphasis on the roles that officers' wives play in supporting -- and sometimes thwarting -- the war effort.
