Panama, in those days, was no place for a sheltered woman, but with the help of Colonel Gorgas, who valued Kellems as a loyal worker, the young couple managed to find not-too-bad quarters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn the boat which brought her to Panama, Phil met and became attracted to Captain Ward Wright, a romantic-looking soldier of fortune in the pay of those interested in blocking the construction of the Panama Canal. He was an exciting contrast to her young and naïve husband.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut perhaps Harry was not so naïve as he seemed, for he himself had meanwhile fallen more than half in love with Madeline Desmoulins, the pretty and aristocratic daughter of a wealthy old Frenchman.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOut of this situation grows the action and suspense of the story. Always in the background, and lending scope and importance to the novel, is the panorama of the great canal venture and the reclaiming of the mosquito-cursed land.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Donald Barr Chidsey\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1479431745\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781479431748\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Wildside Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/17\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 570\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.82lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 1.27d","brand":"Donald Barr Chidsey","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48088365203711,"sku":"9781479431748","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ab8af9bb-488b-415a-85c1-0086461b8df5.jpg?v=1769104430","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/panama-passage-donald-barr-chidsey-9781479431748","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
