The Bale Marked Circle X
A Blockade Running Adventure
Illustrated by C. Chase Emerson. 12mo, red cloth, illustrated
cover, $1.50.
Another of Mr. Eggleston’s stirring books for youth. In it are told the adventures of three boy soldiers in the Confederate Service who are sent in a sloop on a secret voyage from Charleston to the Bahamas, conveying a strange bale of cotton which holds important documents. The boys pass through startling adventures: they run the blockade, suffer shipwreck, and finally reach their destination after the pluckiest kind of effort.
Camp Venture
Story of the Virginia Mountains
Illustrated by W. A. McCullough. 12mo, dark red cloth,
illustrated cover, $1.50.
The Louisville Courier Journal says: “George Gary Eggleston has written a decidedly good tale of pluck and adventure in ‘Camp Venture.’ It will be of interest to young and old who enjoy an exciting story, but there is also a great deal of instruction and information in the book.”
The Last of the Flatboats
A Story of the Mississippi
Illustrated by Charlotte Harding. 12mo, green cloth, illustrated
cover, $1.50.
The Brooklyn Eagle says: “Mr. George Gary Eggleston, the veteran editor and author, has scored a double success in his new book, ‘The Last of the Flatboats,’ which has just been published. Written primarily as a story for young readers, it contains many things that are of interest to older people. Altogether, it is a mighty good story, and well worth reading.”
