The Shadow of Victory: A Romance of Fort Dearborn
· 1903
Unable to complete catalog description. The OCR text provided consists primarily of front matter and the opening chapters of *The Shadow of Victory*, a 1903 romance novel by Myrtle Reed set at Fort Dearborn (Chicago). While chapter titles are listed through Chapter XXIV, the actual story content in the OCR is too limited—ending mid-sentence in the opening dialogue—to provide a substantive description of the featured stories, plot developments, and conclusion. The fragments visible show a historical romance involving a young tutor named Robert Forsyth, his uncle John Mackenzie who operates a trading post, and an Ensign Ronald from Fort Dearborn, with references to Indian negotiations and romantic entanglement, but insufficient text remains to describe what actually happens throughout the narrative.
