Wood, Charles Seely. Camp fires on the Scioto. [†]$1.50. Wilde.
The third story in Mr. Wood’s series on the opening up of the Northwest territory. It is based on the historical records of surveys made after the Indians had been driven to the northwest. The hardy courage of these government surveyors forms the undertone of the tale, which in particular sketches the heroism of Morris Patterson, a lad who had been orphaned by the cruelty of the Indians, and who resolves to take his father’s place in the company at Massie’s Station on the Ohio river, and to support his little sister.
Wood, Eugene. [Back home.] [†]$1.50. McClure.
Stories which will carry all those who, in childhood, have known the country, thankfully back to the old school-house, the Sabbath-school, the swimming hole, the county fair, the circus and the many other things of youth which were once delightfully real and now seem delightfully funny. The illustrations by A. B. Frost add greatly to the book.
