“A vivid, romantic picturing of one of the most fascinating periods of human history.”—The Times, Philadelphia.
“Every scene, every character, every detail, is instinct with life.... From beginning to end we are aroused, amused, absorbed.”—The Tribune, Chicago.
“The author has a genuine enthusiasm for his subject, and stirs up his readers’ hearts in an exciting manner. The old times live again for us, and besides the interest of great events, there is the interest of humble souls immersed in their confusions. ‘Scott, the delight of glorious boys,’ will find a rival in these Surgeon Stories.”—The Christian Register, Boston.
“It is difficult to give an idea of the vividness of the descriptions in these stories without making extracts which would be entirely too long. It is safe to say, however, that no one could possibly fail to be carried along by the torrent of fiery narration which marks these wonderful tales.... Never was the marvelous deviltry of the Jesuits so portrayed. Never were the horrors of war painted in more lurid colors.”—The Press, Philadelphia.
“The style is simple and agreeable.... There is a natural truthfulness, which appears to be the characteristic of all these Northern authors. Nothing appears forced; nothing indicates that the writer ever thought of style, yet the style is such as could not well be improved upon. He is evidently thoroughly imbued with the loftiest ideas, and the men and women whom he draws with the novelist’s facility and art are as admirable as his manner of interweaving their lives with their country’s battles and achievements.”—The Graphic, New York.
