The Rover, Early Adventures of Charles “Doc” Noble by Edward Farber
It’s 1864 and the Civil War is still ablaze.
Young Charles Noble, a veteran of three years in the Union Army, limps off the battlefield to save his wounded leg from the surgeon’s saw. Believing that the Army considers him a deserter, he decides to lose himself in the untamed frontier towns of Kansas where the railroad is steadily bringing civilization westward.
Driven by nightmares of the war, a desire for adventure and an intense need to roam, he travels under the alias Charlie Bell becoming embroiled in a series of engrossing chance encounters including serving as a crew member on an elegant riverboat, meeting Bill Cody, becoming an army scout and buffalo hunter, a traveling tent show performer, even a bodyguard in a brothel. These youthful escapades shape him into “Doc” Noble, the spellbinding character we meet later in life in author Edward Farber’s popular novel, Baron & Brannigan and reward you with a spirited tale of adventure along the way.
