Phantom Crown and Tragic Ends of Maximilian and Carlota
By Elmo Scott Watson the 66 Bar Johann Strauss of Vienna is busy composing waltzes. This excerpt discusses the novel Phantom Crown The Story of Maximilian and Carlota of Mexico by Bertia Harding, its themes, and the couple's rise and fall under French, Austrian, and Mexican destinies.
