“Her mastery of her material is complete; she shapes it into fresh form, leaving no suggestion of the hackneyed or the improbable.”

“After the production of some sixty-four novels, it is something yet to be able to achieve a story which shows no signs of a worn-out imagination, but a decided quickening of spirit. Katharine Tynan tells her tale simply and with economy of words; yet there is real originality of plot and individuality of outlook, the whole showing a definite form, finely moulded.”

“Four years ago, while yet our armies were in the field, was published a volume entitled ‘Friends of France,’ which contained numerous accounts of the work done by American soldiers in France who wore the blue of the poilu. The war was still in progress and some of our regiments were still on the way overseas in danger of submarines and anticipating the serious work which was to follow. The volume, ‘Friends of France,’ was therefore more or less provisional and incomplete. This publication then is designed to supersede the former work; its aim, as expressed by the publishers, is to fill in the gaps and finish the story, to give the final record of all the sections, new as well as old, and of the work of the many hundreds of younger volunteers as well as of the pioneers of 1915 and 1916.”—Boston Transcript
