The story tells with dash and verve the fortunes and loves of an ardent young volunteer, born under the British flag, but educated in Paris, and by adoption a citizen of the United States, and of his comrade, a European aristocrat who had also joined the French Canadians. Two of the best characters in the book are a noble English officer and his sweetheart who rivals the heroine in the affections of the reader.
The novel deals with mirth, adventure, and tragedy, holding one’s interest by the author’s power of graphic description. The pathos is lightened by humor, and the love scenes are as charming as those of “A Daughter of New France,” the first book which gave Miss Crowley a high place among American novelists.
