The Samovar Girl in a 1921 romance/adventure novel based in Chita in eastern Siberia during the Russian Civil War. The novel was written by Frederick Ferdinand Moore who drew on his experience in Siberia as an intelligence officer with the US Army during the Allied intervention in the Russian Civil War.[1]
The protagonist of the novel is the Russian son of a bootmaker, Peter, who witnesses his father's unjustified killing at the behest of the Czar's governor. The boy is imprisoned and rescued by an American who brings him to the United States. Twenty years later, the boy, now Lieutenant Peter Gordon of the US Army, returns to his hometown and seeks to avenge the killing of his father. Meanwhile, the former governor and his daughter, the Korsakoffs, are in hiding but their location is discovered by the soldiers of the local leader, the Ataman Zorogoff. The Korsakoffs believe friends sent the visiting American to rescue them and lead them to safety. The novel continues down a twisting path of intrigue where the ruling Cossacks, Korsakoffs and Gordon scheme to each seek their objectives while never knowing who to trust.[2][3]
Moore dedicated the book to Robert H. Davis, a journalist and photographer who was editor of Munsey's Magazine at the time of printing the book.
