Brady, Cyrus Townsend. Three daughters of the Confederacy. [†]$1.50. Dillingham.
The history and romance of three Southern girls with the Civil war setting which Mr. Brady is past master of. The adventures of the first take place on the Atlantic coast during the blockade at the beginning of the war, while the Mississippi river furnishes the background for the experiences of the second who marries a Yankee non-combatant and straightway rues it. The third is a girl of such great daring that she faces the enemy with her lover on the battlefield during “Stonewall Jackson’s greatest day.”
Brady, Cyrus Townsend. Two captains. [†]$1.50. Macmillan.
“A story of Nelson and Bonaparte in the troubled times of France’s struggle to free herself from monarchy. The long, detailed accounts of sea fights and naval maneuvers will doubtless interest some readers, but the popular taste will find more gratification in the love story of the bold young Irish sea captain and the unhappy French countess whom he rescues from many perils and finally wins for his wife.”—Outlook.
“A brightly contrived romance of an interesting period, which suffers somewhat from the intrusion of the two gigantic historical figures.”
