F Troop The Great Indian Uprising Hardcover Book 1967 William Johnston Comedy

Description: F Troop The Great Indian Uprising Hardcover Book 1967 William Johnston Comedy Any tie-in novel for a '60s or '70 sitcom written by William Johnston is worth reading--because it WILL be laugh-out-loud funny. This one is no exception. Captain Parmenter mixes up numbers on his monthly report--instead of 584 potatoes peeled and 0 troops lost in combat with Indians, he writes 0 potatoes and 584 troops lost. Soon, the youngest general in the army (at one point he has to dodge a truent officer) shows up to put down the Indian uprising. When the general discovers there is no Indian uprising, he decides they have to start one so the Army doesn't look bad. In the meantime, Sgt. O'Rourke is losing money on his Indian souvenier business and trying to renegotiate his deal with the Hekawis. These plot lines mix together in increasingly absurd ways, with everyone (the general, the captain, the sergeant and the Indians) all constantly misinterpreting the motives of everyone else. It ends with the troopers of Fort Courage abandoning their posts to dig for gold that doesn't exist and the Hekawis "attacking" the fort to stage a sit-down strike (a tactic recommended--of course--by Sitting Bull's cousin). It is all hilarous slapstick silliness. It is indeed laugh-out-loud funny. Acceptable pre-owned condition. Binding Wear. See pictures for exact condition.
