Captain Close and Sergeant Croesus is a collection of two novels written by Captain Charles King. The first novel, Captain Close, follows the story of a young man named Frank Close who joins the military in the hopes of making a name for himself. He quickly rises through the ranks and becomes a captain, but his ambition and desire for success come at a cost. The second novel, Sergeant Croesus, tells the story of a soldier named Sergeant Croesus, who is known for his wealth and love of luxury. However, when he is sent to fight in the Spanish-American War, he learns the true value of sacrifice and courage. These two novels offer a glimpse into the lives of soldiers during a time of war and explore themes of ambition, sacrifice, and duty.1895.
