The Colonel's Christmas Dinner is a short story written by Charles King and published in 1890. The story is set in the late 19th century in a small town in the American West, and it revolves around a Christmas dinner hosted by Colonel Carter, a wealthy and respected member of the community. The dinner is attended by a diverse group of guests, including the local sheriff, a young couple, and a group of soldiers stationed nearby. As the evening progresses, the guests share stories and anecdotes, and the Colonel reflects on the meaning of Christmas and the importance of community. However, the festivities are interrupted when a group of bandits attempts to rob the Colonel's home. With the help of the soldiers and the sheriff, the Colonel is able to fend off the attackers and save his guests. The story ends on a note of gratitude and camaraderie, as the guests come together to celebrate their victory and the spirit of Christmas. The Colonel's Christmas Dinner is a heartwarming and inspiring tale that captures the essence of the holiday season and the power of community in times of need.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
