HISTORICAL STORIES FOR BOYS
UNCROWNING A KING
By Edward S. Ellis, A. M. Illustrated by J. Steeple Davis. A tale of the Indian war waged by King Philip in 1675. The adventures of the young hero during that eventful period, his efforts in behalf of the attacked towns, his capture by the Indians, and his subsequent release through the efforts of King Philip himself, with a vivid account of the tragic death of that renowned Indian chieftain, form a most interesting and instructive story.
AT THE SIEGE OF QUEBEC
By James Otis. Illustrated by F. A. Carter. Two boys living on the Kennebec River join Benedict Arnold’s expedition as it passes their dwelling en route for the Canadian border. They, with their command, are taken prisoners before Quebec. The terrible march through the wilderness, the incidents of the siege, and the disastrous assault, which cost the gallant General Montgomery his life, are in the highest degree thrilling, and true in every particular.
WITH PURITAN AND PEQUOT
By William Murray Graydon. Illustrated by Clyde O. Deland. There is a swing of martial spirit and a spice of bold enterprise in this story of colonial times. Rufus Jennicom, the impetuous Puritan boy, finds fighting Indians more to his taste than raising Indian corn. It is his rare good fortune to have for his friend Roger Williams and to meet with Captain Miles Standish. The incidents that go to make up this stirring tale have much to do with the struggles of the early New England colonies.
