The Colonel's Story of Hannon Holiday
A long tale of foreordination and fortune follows Hannon Holiday, Boston youth sent adrift by his father, aided by Father Flores and his daughter Felicita. He rises in New Orleans trading, returns to Boston with $10,000 only to learn his mother died, then falls ill to brain fever as fate tests his prospects and piety.
