The thought of enlisting in the French Foreign Legion held a tantalizing allure for young nineteenth-century Americans in search of adventure. James O'Neill enlisted in the legion in 1887. O'Neill's ability to recount an engaging story and his keen sense for telling details provide a unique record of his time in this exotic world.
