A Story of the Carlist Uprising of 1836
Arthur Hallet, a somewhat immature English boy, decides to enlist with the British Legion after having difficulty in school. He and the other Legion’s recruits sail for Spain to take part in the campaign to repress the Carlist uprising of 1836. Arthur rises to the rigors of military life and quickly shows his mettle in battle. Promoted to the rank of captain and as daring as ever, he finds himself in one perilous adventure after another. Follow Arthur through the battles and political history of Spain during this tumultuous time and get swept up in the tale of his courageous rescues and audacious exploits.
