1903. Illustrations by Frederic Remington and Edwin Willard Deming.
The literary novels of Charles King are ones of Victorian ideals,
morals and views played out on western frontiers, the Civil War,
and the Spanish Philippines. His often melodramatic stories are
based on personal adventures and experiences with detailed
observations and opinions arising from specific times and places.
Publishing over 60 novels and numerous short stories, King was a
popular author in his day, yet today is known mostly for one title,
Campaigning With Crook. An Apache Princess begins: Under the
willows at the edge of the pool a young girl sat daydreaming,
though the day was nearly done. All in the valley was wrapped in
shadow, though the cliffs and turrets across the stream were
resplendent in a radiance of slanting sunshine. Not a cloud
tempered the fierce glare of the arching heavens or softened the
sharp outline of neighboring peak or distant mountain chain. Not a
whisper of breeze stirred the drooping foliage along the sandy
shores or ruffled the liquid mirror surface. See other titles by
this author available from Kessinger Publishing.
