"We have perused this work with some attention, and do not hesitate to
pronounce it one of the very best productions of the talented author.
The scenes are laid in Texas, and the adjoining frontier. There is not a
page that does not glow with thrilling and interesting incident, and
will well repay the reader for the time occupied in perusing it. The
characters are most admirably drawn, and are perfectly natural
throughout. We have derived so much gratification from the perusal of
this charming novel, that we are anxious to make our readers share it
with us; and, at the same time, to recommend it to be read by all
persons who are fond of romantic adventures. Mr. Bennett is a spirited
and vigorous writer, and his works deserve to be generally read; not
only because they are well written, but that they are, in most part,
taken from events connected with the history of our own country, from
which much valuable information is derived, and should, therefore, have
a double claim upon our preference, over those works where the incidents
are gleaned from the romantic legends of old castles, and foreign
climes. The book is printed on fine paper, and is in every way got up in
a style highly creditable to the enterprising publisher."

"It is a spirited tale of frontier life, of which 'Clara Moreland' is
the sequel and conclusion. Mr. Bennett seems to delight in that field of
action and adventure, where Cooper won his laurels; and which is perhaps
the most captivating to the general mind of all the walks of fiction.
There has been, so far, we think, a steady improvement in his style and
stories; and his popularity, as a necessary consequence, has been and is
increasing. One great secret of the popularity of these out-door novels,
as we may call them, is that there is a freshness and simplicity of the
open air and natural world about them--free from the closeness,
intensity and artificiality of the gas-lighted world revealed in works
that treat of the vices and dissipations of large
cities."--_Philadelphia Saturday Evening Post._

"This is one of the best productions of Mr. Bennett. The scenes are in
and near Texas. Every page glows with thrilling interest, and the
characters are well drawn and sustained. An interesting love plot runs
through the book, which gives a faithful representation of life in the
far South-West. Mr. Peterson has issue
