"An admirable story, superior in literary workmanship and imagination to 'Eben Holden.'" NEW YORK WORLD: "Pretty as are the heroines, gallant as Captain Bell proves himself, the reader comes back with even keener zest to the imperturbable D'ri. He is a type of the American--grit, grim humor, rough courtesy, and all. It is a great achievement, upon which Mr. Bacheller is to be heartily congratulated, to have added to the list of memorable figures in American fiction, two such characters as D'ri and Eben Holden." BOSTON BEACON: "Mr. Bacheller has the art of the born story teller. 'D'ri and I' promises to rival 'Eben Holden' in popularity." ST. LOUIS GLOBE-DEMOCRAT: "The admirers of 'Eben Holden,' and they were legion, will welcome another story by its author, Irving Bacheller, who in 'D'ri and I' has created quite as interesting a character as the sage of the North land who was the hero of the former story." Lothrop Publishing Company - - Boston When the Land was Young Being the True Romance of Mistress Antoinette Huguenin and Captain Jack Middleton By LAFAYETTE McLAWS. Bound in green cloth, illustrated cover, gilt top, rough edges. Six drawings by Will Crawford. Size, 5 x 7¾. Price, $1.50 [Illustration] The heroine, Antoinette Huguenin, a beauty of King Louis' Court, is one of the most attractive figures in romance; while Lumulgee, the great war chief of the Choctaws, and Sir Henry Morgan, the Buccaneer Knight and terror of the Spanish Main, divide the honors with hero and heroine. The time was full of border wars between the Spaniards of Florida and the English colonists, and against this historical background Miss McLaws has thrown a story that is absorbing, dramatic, and brilliant. NEW YORK WORLD: "Lovely Mistress Antoinette Huguenin! What a girl she is!" NEW YORK JOURNAL: "A story of thrill and adventure." SAVANNAH NEWS: "Among the entertaining romances based upon the colonial days of American history this novel will take rank as one of the most notable--a dramatic and brilliant story." ST. LOUIS GLOBE-DEMOCRAT: "If one is anxious for a thrill, he has only to read a few pages of 'When the Land was Young' to experience the desired sensation.... There is action of the most virile type throughout the romance.... It is vividly told, and presents a realistic picture of the days 'when the land was young.'"
