"Laramie; Or, The Queen of Bedlam. A Story of the Sioux War of 1876" by Captain Charles King is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. Set during the tumultuous time of the Sioux War, the story unfolds primarily around Fort Laramie, where soldiers and their families navigate the complexities of frontier army life, including relationships, rivalry, and the specter of impending conflict. This tale centers around key characters such as Lieutenant Randall McLean and Nellie Bayard, as they become entwined in personal dramas exacerbated by the ongoing tensions with Indigenous nations. The opening of the novel introduces readers to Fort Laramie, describing its rugged environment transitioning from winter to spring as the local rivers surge with melting snow. We learn about the various inhabitants of the fort, including Mrs. Miller, who watches over the social dynamics, and Dr. Bayard, Nellie's father, who is embroiled in his own frustrations about duty and family life. The narrative hints at budding romance and conflict, particularly between McLean and the troubled Miss Forrest, alongside growing tensions as soldiers prepare for duty against the Sioux. As relationships develop amidst the backdrop of military life, the stage is set for both personal and collective struggles ahead.
