A Story of the American Revolution. By James Barnes. Illustrated. Post 8vo, Cloth, Ornamental, $1.50.
The story is one of adventure and abounds in vivid description. The author has evidently made a careful study of the New York of a century ago, and of the history of the secret patriot societies which were formed in the city under the British rule, and the story in many of its descriptions has marked historical value.—Boston Advertiser.
Gives a series of striking pictures of social and military life in and about the city of New York during the period of British occupation.... Filled with exciting incidents, and will have a strong fascination for young readers.—Boston Transcript.
A very stirring story of the early years of the American Revolution.—Brooklyn Times.
Abounding in adventure, and those chapters in which the young soldiers play the part of spies are particularly enthralling.—Buffalo Courier.
Full of movement and full of surprises.... Will instruct as well as interest the average boy who reads it.—Boston Journal.
