Curtis is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The narrative revolves around the experiences of Captain Curtis during the Civil War era, particularly focusing on interactions with the Navajo Indians as he serves in the military outposts of New Mexico. The story not only delves into the complexities of this period but also introduces the youthful characters of Corporals Frank and Henry Burton, the sons of a lieutenant colonel, as they navigate the challenges posed by their environment and the conflicts that ensue. At the start of the narrative, Captain Curtis reintroduces himself to the military camp at Santa Fé, where he encounters the young Burton brothers. As they bond over their experiences and aspirations, the tension rises as Curtis is ordered to venture into the Jemez Mountains to combat the Navajo tribes. The initial chapters present a rich backdrop of military life, camaraderie, and the stark realities of frontier warfare by emphasizing the interactions among characters and the looming threat of Native American conflicts. The chapters culminate with an immediate clash involving the Navajos, showcasing the dangers of military service against the backdrop of a beautifully harsh yet evocative landscape. This sets the stage for a series of adventures and trials shaped by the historical reality of the time.
