The second of these volumes in the “Up and doing series.” It is an account of the adventures of two boys who spend the holidays with an old French Canadian trapper. The race for life with a pack of wolves at their heels, the escape from a huge bear, the moose hunt, the encounter with a panther, etc. all supply aliment for a brave imagination.
Ellis, Elizabeth. [Barbara Winslow, rebel.] †$1.50. Dodd.
“Another historical romance with an English setting, its scene being laid just after the defeat of Monmouth at Sedgemoor. Here we have a fascinating heroine, arrested for harboring rebels, and a victim of Jeffreys and the Bloody Circuit. Sentenced to a brutal punishment, she is saved by one of the king’s officers, who thereby becomes himself a rebel, and the two take flight together.... Barbara is a young woman of the pert and proud type so dear to the romantic heart, and her soldier lover has the complementary virtues that the situation requires.” (Dial.)
