_THE RED BADGE OF COURAGE. An Episode of the American Civil War._ 12mo. Cloth, $1.00. "Never before have we had the seamy side of glorious war so well depicted.... The action of the story throughout is splendid, and all aglow with color, movement, and vim. The style is as keen and bright as a sword-blade, and a Kipling has done nothing better in this line."--_Chicago Evening Post._ "There is nothing in American fiction to compare with it.... Mr. Crane has added to American literature something that has never been done before, and that is, in its own peculiar way, inimitable."--_Boston Beacon._ "A truer and completer picture of war than either Tolstoy or Zola."--_London New Review._ New York: D. APPLETON & CO., 72 Fifth Avenue. * * * * * TRANSCRIBER'S NOTE: Every effort has been made to replicate this text as faithfully as possible, including obsolete and variant spellings, and inconsistent hyphenation.
