Soldiers of Fortune

by Richard Harding Davis

Soldiers of Fortune (1897) is Richard Harding Davis's most famous novel. Set in the fictional South American republic of Olancho, it follows Robert Clay, a bold American mining engineer who must navigate political intrigue, a brewing revolution, and matters of the heart when he falls for Alice Langham, the daughter of the mining company's owner.

Drawing on Davis's own experiences as a globe-trotting journalist, the novel captures the spirit of American adventure and ambition at the dawn of the twentieth century. It was one of the best-selling novels of its era and was later adapted for both stage and screen.
