“Colonial Boys” a story patriotic, exciting, pleasing and helpful, and instructs without appearing to. The number of really good stories for young people on the Revolutionary period of American History is surprisingly small, therefore we welcome this volume. The customs of our forefathers’ time are admirably portrayed, and strong lessons of patriotism are taught in “Three Colonial Boys,” and for this reason it is a book which should be in every library.—Boston Transcript.
There is no more interesting period of American History as a background for fiction than the days leading up to the Revolution. Colonial Boys works in most happily historical scenes and incidents, and follows three manly boys through numerous exciting episodes.—Boston Journal.
A healthful and very readable story for young people. It deals with one of the most interesting periods of American History, and is based on facts. Pure in tone, it is admirably suited for school libraries because of its historic teaching.—The Advance.
Our literature for the young is none too well supplied with books of interest on their country’s history, so we gladly welcome the “Three Colonial Boys,” the first of a promised War of the Revolution Series, dealing with events prior to and during the war. We are impressed by the wholesome lessons of patriotism inculcated by the three youths. Our boys need it, and the work is well begun.—Congregationalist.
