About this ebook
The book is the story of Ramon (Ray) Bell, a young man living on New York's northern frontier along the St. Lawrence, and his honorary uncle/family friend Darius (D'ri from the title). When the War of 1812 begins they join up with local militia and army forces, and begin a series of adventures. The bulk of the book is a mix of military adventures written in a dashing cavalier style, and a melodrama where Ray falls in love with two noble French sisters in semi-exile. The adventures tend to be light, swashbuckling-type, so you probably won't get a serious examination of the War of 1812 out of this, but they're fun enough. The melodrama/love-triangle is fairly typical of Victorian era writing, though far more innocently presented than what you would read today.
