Indians; and old-time games.

SECOND VOLUME

_MARCHING ON NIAGARA_
_Or The Soldier Boys of the Old Frontier_

Illustrated by A. B. Shute Price $1.25

The story relates the doings of two young soldiers who join the
Colonial forces in a march on Fort Niagara, during the time of the war
with France, when the whole territory between the Blue Ridge and the
Great Lakes was in a state of unrest. Many side lights are thrown into
the colonial homes, and much useful information is given of the
pioneers who helped to make our country what it is to-day.

David Morris is a fine fellow, and about him is woven a fine "Injun"
story that is sure to delight the boys.--_Universalist Leader, Boston._

_Or a Soldier Boy's Final Victory_

Illustrated by A. B. Shute Price $1.25

This volume relates the adventures of Dave Morris and his cousin Henry
during the two last campaigns against the French for the possession of
Canada and the territory below the great lakes. The scaling of the
heights of Quebec under General Wolfe, and the memorable battle on the
Plains of Abraham, are given in detail. There are many stirring scenes
of battle, and there are also adventures while fishing and hunting, and
with the Indians.

The chief charm of Mr. Stratemeyer's stories lies in the fact that an
enormous quantity of valuable information, collected from the most
reliable sources, is deftly woven into the narrative without taking
away from the interest.--_Philadelphia Inquirer._
