About this book
Military ambition and wounded affection meet in M. M. Noah's three-act American play, set against the Battle of Chippewa in 1814. Its dialogue moves between an army camp and a tavern in York, Upper Canada. Adela talks eagerly about battlefield courage and the honors she imagines winning, while Christine arrives hoping to find support from Lenox, the man she loves. Seeing him with Adela throws her plans into confusion.
Christine has left her father's house to escape an unwanted match. Dressed in disguise, she asks a corporal to enlist her in the ranks and demonstrates her skill with a musket. These scenes bring together romantic jealousy, military enthusiasm and comic exchanges in a story written for performance.
