THREE COLONIAL BOYS. A Story of the Times of ’76. 368 pp. Illustrated. Cloth, $1.50.
It is a story of three boys who were drawn into the events of the times; is patriotic, exciting, clean, and healthful, and instructs without appearing to. The heroes are manly boys, and no objectionable language or character is introduced. The lessons of courage and patriotism especially will be appreciated in this day.—Boston Transcript.
THREE YOUNG CONTINENTALS. A Story of the American Revolution. 364 pp. Illustrated. Cloth, $1.50.
The second volume of the War of the Revolution Series gives a vivid and accurate picture of, and the part which our “Three Colonial Boys” took in, the events which led up to the “Battle of Long Island,” which was thought at the time to be a crushing defeat for the Continental Army, but which in fact was the means of arousing the Colonies to more determined effort.
