by a combination of
circumstances he is put on trial for his life, but at last comes
victorious "through the fray."
"Mr. Henty inspires a love and admiration for
straightforwardness, truth, and courage. This is
one of the best of the many good books Mr. Henty
has produced, and deserves to be classed with his
_Facing Death_."--_Standard._
"The interest of the story never flags. Were we to
propose a competition for the best list of novel
writers for boys we have little doubt that Mr.
Henty's name would stand first."--_Journal of
Education._
_TRUE TO THE OLD FLAG:_
A Tale of the American War of Independence. By G.
A. HENTY. With 12 full-page Illustrations by
GORDON BROWNE. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, olivine
edges, $1.50.
In this story the author has gone to the accounts of officers who took
part in the conflict, and lads will find that in no war in which
American and British soldiers have been engaged did they behave with
greater courage and good conduct. The historical portion of the book
being accompanied with numerous thrilling adventures with the redskins
on the shores of Lake Huron, a story of exciting interest is interwoven
with the general narrative and carried through the book.
"Does justice to the pluck and determination of
the British soldiers during the unfortunate
struggle against American emancipation. The son of
an American loyalist, who remains true to our
flag, falls among the hostile redskins in that
very Huron country which has been endeared to us
by the exploits of Hawkeye and
Chingachgook."--_The Times._
"Mr. G. A. Henty's extensive personal experience
of adventures and moving incidents by flood and
field, combined with a gift of picturesque
narrative, make his books always welcome visitors
in the home circle."--_Daily News._
"Very superior in every way. The book is almost
unique in its class in having illustrative
maps."--_Saturday Review._
BY G. A. HENTY.
"Mr. Henty is the king of story-tellers for
boys."--_Sword and Trowel._
