“Captain Charles King has never written more captivating stories of frontier life than the two that are embraced in this neat volume just issued.”—San Francisco Bulletin.
“Captain King has done many good things, but perhaps none better than these animated tales, which are full of Indians, good and bad, scouts, cowboys, and everything needful to keep a restless boy quiet on an evening.”—Philadelphia Evening Telegraph.
“The list of Captain King’s books for boys is in itself calculated to excite youthful imaginations and hold their attention unrelaxed to the close. These two latest stories contain all the striking features of its predecessors, the excitement, the fire, the geniality, the rapidity that have long delighted his large community of boy readers.”—Boston Courier.
