There is, perhaps, no way in which young readers can become so truly familiarized with a country, in all its resources and capabilities, as by these books of Mr. Knox's.—Boston Traveller.
Mr. Knox's pictures of mountains and rivers, forests and plains, of people and their customs, modes of life and government, can be marked as accurate. They are not fancy sketches, but actual facts gathered from personal observation and from reliable data.—Chicago Inter-Ocean.
Boy readers have their own favorite authors, and among them Colonel Knox stands in a foremost place. He is a master of the art of adding to the solid facts of geography and history the leaven of boyish imagination, which makes the acquirement of information so agreeable to the mind in its formation period.—Philadelphia Inquirer.
