A story of pioneer life in Tennessee at the time of the Cherokee uprising in 1760. The frontier fort serves as a background to this picture of Indian craft and guile and pioneer pleasures and hardships. =CROCKETT. RED CAP TALES.= By S. R. Crockett. 8vo. Illustrated. xii + 413 pages. The volume consists of a number of tales told in succession from four of Scott's novels--"Waverley," "Guy Mannering," "Rob Roy," and "The Antiquary"; with a break here and there while the children to whom they are told discuss the story just told from their own point of view. No better introduction to Scott's novels could be imagined or contrived. Half a dozen or more tales are given from each book. =DIX. A LITTLE CAPTIVE LAD.= By Beulah Marie Dix. 12mo. Illustrated. vii + 286 pages. The story is laid in the time of Cromwell, and the captive lad is a cavalier, full of the pride of his caste. The plot develops around the child's relations to his Puritan relatives. It is a well-told story, with plenty of action, and is a faithful picture of the times. =EGGLESTON. SOUTHERN SOLDIER STORIES.= By George Cary Eggleston. 12mo. Illustrated. xi + 251 pages. Forty-seven stories illustrating the heroism of those brave Americans who fought on the losing side in the Civil War. Humor and pathos are found side by side in these pages which bear evidence of absolute truth. =
