“The author describes the war fever and enlistment, the advance to Virginia, the battles of Chancellorsville, Gettysburg, the Wilderness, Petersburg, and the end, with a simplicity and straightforwardness that are full of pathos. The evening camps, the frugal ‘hard tack,’ the long marches over ‘the sacred soil,’ the Bucktail cantonments under the dark Virginia pines, the whir of the long roll, the silent watch of midnight pickets, the songs of the camp, the moans of the hospital, the white tents on Maryland hills, the joyous rush of artillery coming into action, the imposing splendors of Presidential reviews—all these and a thousand other phases of that exciting era are reproduced here with picturesque fidelity; and once more its readers are ‘Tenting on the old Camp-ground.’”—Washington Herald.

Miss Baylor’s charming and “ower true” tale has formed (though only given in part) the chief attraction of the “St. Nicholas” for a year, and in its present and complete form will be heartily welcomed, most of all by those who have already learned to love its little hero and heroine, and will eagerly look for the full story of their adventures.
The locale of these events, amid the romantic scenery of Northern Mexico and Western Texas, is brilliantly and accurately described, with the ways and habits of the Texans, Mexicans, and Indians. With these are the records of the young hero and heroine, in and beyond the Cañon of Roses, and their numerous strange and diverting adventures, making a volume of rare and permanent interest for young or old.
