| Summary | "Ray's Daughter: A Story of Manila" by Charles King is a historical novel written in the early 20th century. Set during the tumultuous period of the Spanish-American War, the narrative follows the lives of several characters, primarily focusing on the young recruit Walter Foster and his romantic connection with Marion Ray, the daughter of an army officer. Their intertwining destinies unfold amidst the backdrop of military life and the chaos of war. At the start of the novel, we are introduced to the atmosphere surrounding the army's preparations for war, particularly as troops travel westward by train. The setting captures the oppressive heat and the excitement mixed with apprehension among the recruits heading to their uncertain futures. Walter Foster, who is depicted as somewhat reluctant and shy, is accompanied by Corporal Connelly and faces the trials of military life alongside other recruits. The narrative delves into their interactions, aspirations, and the impending danger they are to face in Manila, setting the stage for romance, conflict, and personal growth against the vivid backdrop of a nation at war.
