Summary "Waring's Peril" by Charles King is a novel likely written in the late 19th century. The story is set in a post-Civil War military context, focusing on the character of Lieutenant Sam Waring, a charming and somewhat reckless officer in light artillery. The novel explores themes of duty, societal expectations, and personal desires as Waring navigates relationships within the garrison and the consequences of his social engagements. At the start of the narrative, readers are introduced to Waring's carefree and indulgent lifestyle, characterized by his morning interactions with his black servant, Ananias. Waring is determined to skip a military review to attend a social engagement in town, showcasing his casual defiance of authority. His relationships with fellow officers, who view him with a mix of admiration and jealousy, hint at underlying tensions in the military hierarchy. An accident involving his horse sets the stage for further complications and challenges as his actions lead to both personal and professional peril, establishing an intriguing premise for the unfolding story.
