A lovely romance which takes place at a new cavalry post called, Fort Blizzard, which is in the far Northwest. Molly Elliot Seawell (1860-1916), baptized as "Mary" was born into one of the older families of English language-speaking North America and one of the first families of Virginia. Seawell's fiction might be distinguished into three genres: regional fiction, romances, and books for boys (primarily nautical stories). Their strong suit is Seawell's ability in characterization rather than her plots.
