| Summary | "The Colonel of the Red Huzzars" by John Reed Scott is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. The story follows Major Armand Dalberg, an American officer, who finds himself drawn into the political tensions of the Kingdom of Valeria, particularly as a war brews over a royal marriage and family loyalties. The narrative unfolds as Dalberg grapples with his mysterious heritage connected to the royal family while navigating a world of intrigue, romance, and military affairs. At the start of the novel, the protagonist, Major Dalberg, is about to leave his post in Pittsburgh to seek active military duty after feeling stifled by bureaucratic work. During a conversation with his friend Courtney, he learns of impending conflict in Valeria and jokingly accepts a bet to attend a royal event there within thirty days. As he prepares for his journey, Dalberg's lineage and connection to the royal family begin to surface, hinting at deeper personal ties to the unfolding events. This opening sets the stage for a blend of adventure, romance, and a clash of duty and personal desire as Major Dalberg's journey into Valeria begins. (This is an automatically generated summary.) |
