| Summary | "Cavalry Curt; Or, The Wizard Scout of the Army" by George Waldo Browne is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. Set during the American Civil War, the narrative follows the daring exploits of the protagonist, Curtis Remington, known as Cavalry Curt, who is a Union scout operating amidst the dangers of Confederate territory. The story explores themes of bravery, loyalty, and the moral complexities faced during wartime, particularly through the lens of characters like the resilient Mara Morland, who becomes entangled in the conflict. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to a tense scene where Cavalry Curt narrowly escapes a group of Confederate cavalrymen in northern Georgia. As he flees, we learn about his reputation and the risks he undertakes as a spy for the Union Army. The narrative quickly shifts to Mara Morland, a young woman who witnesses his flight and later becomes involved in aiding him after his wounded escape leads him to her home. The opening sets the stage for an intense exploration of espionage, gallantry, and the female experience during the chaos of war, marking Mara as a potential ally for Curt in the ongoing conflict. The tense atmosphere and the introduction of diverse characters hint at a gripping tale of adventure and romance amidst the backdrop of one of America's most tumultuous historical periods.
