Lanier of the Cavalry; or, A Week's Arrest

"Lanier of the Cavalry; or, A Week's Arrest" by Charles King and illustrated by Frank McKernan follows its main character, Lanier, as he lives as a soldier in the late 1800s. After being arrested, Lanier's life is turned upside down. Adventure and politics mixed with some humor, and are accentuated with McKernan's illustrations to capture the reader from the very first word.
