Nv Favorite Book

My favorite book is Captain Macklin", by Richard Harding Davis It is a story of a young man who was the last of a fighting family. His grandfather had been a general in the Mexican War and his father, a Confederate Captain, had been kill ed during Pickett's Charge at Gettys- burg.
 Macklin's grandfather wished him to become a soldier, so he secured for him an appointment to the Uni ted States Military Academy at West Point. His grandfather died shortly after and left all of his property to Macklin. Macklin was very good in planning campaigns at the Academy, but his mathematics were poor. He broke rule one night by going to ball in a neighboring town. He was accordingly discharged from the Academy, which meant that he could never train to be an officer again.
 He returned to his home, but was restless, and could not be reconciled to ofice-work. He desired to leave the United States and he made up his mind to- go to Central America. Arriving there, he found that the people had revolted against an op- pressive ruler. Here was his charge to fight, so he enlisted in the "For- eign Legion, a regiment of men from all countries, who were helping the revolutionists.
 The revolution was successful and he was made vice-president of the Republic, but some treacherous revo- lutionists started a counter-revolu- tion and overthrow the government. Macklin was severely wounded. but he managed to reach the coast and embark on a steamer for New York. He offered his services once more to the United States but they were re- jected. Unable to serve his own country he spent the rest of his life as a soldier-of-fortune, helping op- pressed people to win their indepen- dence.
