Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Colonel's Story
As I write of the Colonel, he seems to stand before me: handsome, deferential, and with a certain repose of bearing, ever the hall-mark of a gentleman. He was wont to say of himself, I am like a weather-beaten old oak: of small use in the landscape, but with a sheltering arm still, and, please God, a sound heart.
