Fort Desolation

R. M. Ballantyne

Summary

'Fort Desolation' is an adventure novel for juveniles written by R. M. Ballantyne. It revolves around  a young man named John—more familiarly known as Jack—who was as romantic as his name was the reverse. To look at him you would have supposed that he was the most ordinary of common-place men, but if you had known him, as we did, you would have discovered that there was a deep, silent, but ever-flowing river of enthusiasm, energy, fervor—in a word, romance—in his soul, which seldom or never manifested itself in words, and only now and then, on rare occasions, flashed out in a lightning glance, or blazed up in a fiery countenance. For the most part Jack was calm as a mill-pond, deep as the Atlantic, straightforward and grave as an undertaker's clerk and good-humored as an unspoilt and healthy child.
