'The Story of General Gordon' is a semi-fictional novel by Jean Lang about a real-life figure named Charles George Gordon. His story begins sixty years ago, at Woolwich, the town on the Thames where the gunners of our army are trained, where there lived a mischievous, curly-haired, blue-eyed boy, whose name was Charlie Gordon. The Gordons were a Scotch family, and Charlie came from a race of soldiers. His great-grandfather had fought for King George, and was taken prisoner at the battle of Prestonpans, when many other Gordons were fighting for Prince Charlie. His grandfather had served bravely in different regiments and in many lands. His father was yet another gallant soldier, who thought that there was no life so good as the soldier's life, and nothing so fine as to serve in the British army. Of him it is said that he was kind-hearted, generous, cheerful, full of humor, always just, living by the code of honor, and greatly beloved. His wife belonged to a family of great merchant adventurers and explorers, the Enderbys, whose ships had done many daring things on far seas.
