I enjoyed many aspects of The Officer and the Traveler by Rose Gordon.The setting is not far from where I live in Oklahoma and the time period is before statehood when cavalry was stationed in forts in Oklahoma.  I didn't think I would like this, but I loved it.Rose wove the characters together in a plot joining isolated soldier with women.  The woman in this story, Michaela, was traveling with her General father to visit her sister, Ella, who had married another officer at the fort. Rose showed us to observe these people help each other and strive to survive and love in unusual circumstances.I've enjoyed her books set in England and this "Officer" group of historical western romance are equally excellent.
