Ranson's Folly Richard Harding Davis

Ranson's Folly is about the audacious, dare-devil exploits of a junior officer in the U. S. Army, whose position and influence secure a lieutenancy in a Western post. The monotony of the life and its regularity finally drive him into the folly of donning the disguise of a band of notorious highwaymen, and holding up the public coach. The results of this escapade are almost tragic for the reckless young excitement seeker.
