"Its style is graphic, careless, romping and fanciful, and it is really captivating."
From the Albany Evening Journal.
"The style is lively; the dialogues frequent and effective; the graver scenes well drawn and the book wholly what it purports to be—an American Novel, characteristically descriptive of American Life."
From the New York Sunday Mercury.
"A book that will repay the reader for the time spent in its perusal. A pleasant companion for Saratoga, or the sea-shore."
From the Educational Herald.
"Its descriptions and pictures are very graphic."
