520 _a"Trumpeter Fred: A Story of the Plains" by Captain Charles King is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. The story is centered around a young boy named Fred Waller, who aspires to follow in his father's footsteps as a soldier while navigating the challenges of military life during a time of conflict with Native American tribes. The book captures the spirit of adventure and the harsh realities of frontier life in the American West. At the start of the narrative, Fred is introduced as a trumpeter in "B" Troop, stationed at the Niobrara River along with a young and inexperienced lieutenant, Blunt. The troop is thrust into a perilous situation after Fred mysteriously vanishes, apparently having deserted, alongside a significant sum of money that has gone missing. As the unfolding story reveals through the eyes of the soldiers and the old sergeant, Waller, Fred's father, there are hints of deeper treachery intertwined with the dangers they face from the surrounding tribes. The opening sets up a tension-filled adventure, with Fred's character shown to be both brave and determined, leading to questions about loyalty, honor, and the implications of choice amid the chaos of war.
