Author: Dr. Gordon Stables
Hard cover. Good condition. First Edition (1900)
How Jack Mackenzie Won His Epaulettes by Dr. Gordon Stables is an adventure novel set during the Crimean War, following the journey of Jack Mackenzie (also known in his youth as “Johnnie Greybreeks”) from a poor boy in Glasgow to a hopeful naval/military man. He faces hardship, poverty, and longing, but his courage, sense of honour, and determination guide him as he pursues his ambitions for service and recognition. Through trials both in peacetime and during wartime, Jack earns his “epaulettes” (the insignia of his rank) by demonstrating bravery, resilience, and loyalty—transforming from a needy child into a respected figure of duty and valour.
