Recent release "Following the Drum: Memoirs of an Army Bride, 1904-1919" from Page Publishing author, Ethel Cushing Brant, is the engrossing autobiography of a young woman who left the comfort of her privileged New York City upbringing to follow her new husband's deployment with the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry Regiment in the US Army.
NEW YORK, April 5, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Ethel Cushing Brant's granddaughter, Ethel Virginia Brant Bauer and great-granddaughter, Virginia Bauer Pontzer have completed their book "Following the Drum: Memoirs of an Army Bride, 1904-1919": a candid memoir of military family life for a young couple at the dawn of the last century.
Come along on the adventures with a young army wife in the early 1900s. From the Wild West to the Philippines to the Mexican border, Ethel Cushing Brant (1882–1941) describes the rigors and gaieties of traveling with the Ninth and Tenth Cavalry Regiment, known as the Buffalo Soldiers. Using colorful descriptions and witty insights, she tells interesting, historical, and humorous events, all along showing the caliber of the army wife to patiently and unwearyingly adapt to the many hardships of "following the drum."
Ethel grew up as an only child in a privileged, high-society family in New York City. Her life dramatically changed after marrying Gerald Brant immediately following his 1904 graduation from the US Military Academy at West Point.
Ethel Virginia shares, "When I close my eyes and think back to that little, untried person, who stepped out of her warm, sheltered, cotton-wool existence into the most adventurous, hand-to-mouth, catch-as-catch-can life she could have chosen, I realize, oh so poignantly, that experience is certainly the best teacher, but she is like a tigress teaching her cubs—she cuffs them about a lot, especially in the Army."
Published by New York City-based Page Publishing, Ethel Cushing Brant's book is a spellbinding autobiographical work and a must-read for fans of all aspects of military history.
Readers who wish to experience this engaging work can purchase "Following the Drum: Memoirs of an Army Bride, 1904-1919" at bookstores everywhere, or online at the Apple iTunes store, Amazon, Google Play, or Barnes and Noble.
