_WITH LEE IN VIRGINIA:_
A Story of the American Civil War. By G. A. HENTY.
With 10 full-page Illustrations by GORDON BROWNE,
and 6 Maps. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine
edges, $1.50.
Few great wars have been fought out by each side with greater intensity
of conviction in the rightness of its cause or with more abundant
personal heroism than the American civil war. Of this heroic clash of
opposing conviction Mr. Henty has made admirable use in this story of a
young Virginian planter, who, after bravely proving his sympathy with
the slaves of brutal masters, serves with no less courage and enthusiasm
under Lee and Jackson through the most exciting events of the struggle.
He has many hairbreadth escapes, is several times wounded and twice
taken prisoner; but his courage and readiness and, in two cases, the
devotion of a black servant and of a runaway slave whom he had assisted
bring him safely through all difficulties.
"The story is a capital one and full of variety,
and presents us with many picturesque scenes of
Southern life. Young Wingfield, who is
conscientious, spirited, and 'hard as nails,'
would have been a man after the very heart of
'Stonewall' Jackson."--_Times._
"This is one of the best stories for lads which
Mr. Henty has yet written. The picture is full of
life and colour, and the stirring and romantic
incidents which marked the struggle are most
skilfully blended with the personal interest and
charm of the story. Any lad of mettle is certain
to revel in this fascinating historical
romance."--_Standard._
_BONNIE PRINCE CHARLIE:_
A Tale of Fontenoy and Culloden. By G. A. HENTY.
