The Son of a Tory

_A ROMANCE OF THE MOHAWK VALLEY BY CLINTON SCOLLARD_

Frontispiece. 12mo. 307 pp. Cloth. Ornamental. $1.50

The Son of a Tory is one Wilton Aubrey by name, who narrates his
exciting experiences during the summer of 1777....

The first glimpse given of this Wilton Aubrey, also gives the news of
the planned invasion by Barry St. Leger and his army from the north,
with the hope by all his followers that every Whig should be forced to
become a loyal subject to the king.... At heart Aubrey was a true Whig
but a promise to his mother and his father's impaired health made it
stern duty, not to oppose his father, and to join a small Tory company,
which made a daring escape from their home, the Flatts, to Oswego to
join St. Leger. From this point one is introduced to countless important
personages and in a skillful way the characteristics of each is
portrayed. The hero's flight to the Whigs is most entertaining reading,
and then we meet with Aubrey many more men, who have made glorious
history for Americans. Is it all war? By no means; Margaret is a girl we
love with Wilton Aubrey, and revel in the descriptions of his perilous
trips to see his beloved, for who can help liking bravery in love as
well as in war. In the closing pages episode follows episode in rapid
succession, and the reader is carried to the end all too soon.... It is
a book, which if all the qualities that make a good book are taken into
consideration, ought to prove more of a success than some recent novels
which have gained a world-wide reputation.--_Clinton Advertiser._

This delightful novel is gradually winning its way into popular favor as
the most interesting and attractive piece of work Miss Magruder has ever
done. It certainly merits all its success and commendation for never has
she drawn a more lovable heroine or a more manly hero, and with
characters like these no story could be otherwise than thoroughly
charming. It is the story of a young and beautiful "Alien" cruelly
mislead by an unworthy father and a scoundrel of an American, who
finally succeeds in securing th
