A romance by Captain King is always a pleasure, because he has so complete a mastery of the subjects with which he deals.... Captain King has few rivals in his domain.... The general tone of Captain King's stories is highly commendable. The heroes are simple, frank, and soldierly; the heroines are dignified and maidenly in the most unconventional situations.--_Epoch_, N. Y. All Captain King's stories are full of spirit and with the true ring about them.--_Philadelphia Item._ Captain King's stories of army life are so brilliant and intense, they have such a ring of true experience, and his characters are so lifelike and vivid that the announcement of a new one is always received with pleasure.--_New Haven Palladium._ Captain King is a delightful story-teller.--_Washington Post._ In the delineation of war scenes Captain King's style is crisp and vigorous, inspiring in the breast of the reader a thrill of genuine patriotic fervor.--_Boston Commonwealth._ Captain King is almost without a rival in the field he has chosen.... His style is at once vigorous and sentimental in the best sense of that word, so that his novels are pleasing to young men as well as young women.--_Pittsburgh Bulletin._ It is good to think that there is at least one man who believes that all the spirit of romance and chivalry has not yet died out of the world, and that there are as brave and honest hearts to-day as there were in the days of knights and paladins.--_Philadelphia Record._ * * * * * Published by HARPER & BROTHERS, New York. _Any of the above works sent by mail, postage prepaid, to any part of the United States, Canada, or Mexico, on receipt of the price._ BOOTS AND SADDLES; Or, Life in Dakota with General Custer. By Mrs. Elizabeth B. Custer. With Portrait of General Custer, pp. 312. 12mo, Cloth, $1 50. A book of adventure is interesting reading, especially when it is all true, as is the case with "Boots and Saddles." *** She does not obtrude the fact that sunshine and solace went with her to tent and fort, but it inheres in her narrative none the less, and as a consequence "these simple annals of our daily life," as she calls them, are never dull nor uninteresting.--_Evangelist_, N. Y. Mrs. Custer's book is in reality a bright and sunny sketch of the life of her late husband, who fell at the battle of "Little Big Horn." *** After the war, when General Custer was sent to the Indian frontier, his wife was of the party, and she is able to give the minute story of her husband's varied career, since she was almost always near the scene of his adventures.--_Brooklyn Union._
