The Wilderness Road A Romance of St. Clair's Defeat and Wayne's Victory.

"That Mr. Altsheler has caught the wild free spirit of the life which he depicts is evident on every page, and nowhere more so than in one of his final chapters, 'The Meeting of the Chiefs,' where he vitalizes the life-and-death struggle of a friendly and a hostile Indian." &mdash;New York Mail and Express.

The Sun of Saratoga A Romance of Burgoyne's Surrender.

"Taken altogether, 'The sun of Saratoga' is the best historical novel of American origin that has been written for years, if not, indeed, in a fresh, simple, unpretending, unlabored, manly way, that we have ever read."&mdash;New York Mail and Express.

A Soldier of Manhattan And his Adventures at Ticonderoga and Quebec.

"The story is told in such a simple, direct way that it holds the reader's interest to the end, and gives a most accurate picture of the times."&mdash;Boston Transcript.
