Camp Venture

A Story of the Virginia Mountains

=Illustrated by W. A. McCullough. 12mo, dark red cloth, illustrated
cover, $1.50.=

The _Louisville Courier Journal_ says: "George Cary Eggleston has
written a decidedly good tale of pluck and adventure in 'Camp
Venture.' It will be of interest to young and old who enjoy an
exciting story, but there is also a great deal of instruction and
information in the book."

The Last of the Flatboats

A Story of the Mississippi

=Illustrated by Charlotte Harding. 12mo, green cloth, illustrated
cover, $1.50.=

The _Brooklyn Eagle_ says: "Mr. George Cary Eggleston, the veteran
editor and author, has scored a double success in his new book, 'The
Last of the Flatboats,' which has just been published. Written
primarily as a story for young readers, it contains many things that
are of interest to older people. Altogether, it is a mighty good
story, and well worth reading."
