"'The Young Volunteer in Cuba,' the second of the Old Glory
Series, is better than the first; perhaps it traverses more
familiar ground. Ben Russell, the brother of Larry, who was
'with Dewey,' enlists with the volunteers and goes to Cuba,
where he shares in the abundance of adventure and has a chance
to show his courage and honesty and manliness, which win their
reward. A good book for boys, giving a good deal of information
in a most attractive form."--_Universalist Leader._

TO ALASKA FOR GOLD Or The Fortune Hunters of the Yukon.
"In 'Richard Dare's Venture,' Edward Stratemeyer has fully
sustained his reputation as an entertaining, helpful, and
instructive writer for boys."--_Philadelphia Call._
"'Richard Dare's Venture,' by Edward Stratemeyer, tells the
story of a country lad who goes to New York to earn enough to
support his widowed mother and orphaned sisters. Richard's
energy, uprightness of character, and good sense carry him
through some trying experiences, and gain him friends."--_The
Churchman_, New York.
"A breezy boy's book is 'Oliver Bright's Search.' The author
has a direct, graphic style, and every healthy minded youth
will enjoy the volume."--_N. Y. Commercial Advertiser._
"'Richard Dare's Venture' is a fresh, wholesome book to put
into a boy's hands."--_St. Louis Post Dispatch._
"'Richard Dare's Venture' is a wholesome story of a practical
boy who made a way for himself when thrown upon his own
resources."--_Christian Advocate._
"It is such books as 'Richard Dare's Venture' that are
calculated to inspire young readers with a determination to
succeed in life, and to choose some honorable walk in which to
find that success. The author, Edward Stratemeyer, has shown a
judgment that is altogether too rare in the makers of books for
boys, in that he has avoided that sort of heroics in the
picturing of the life of his hero which deals in adventures of
the daredevil sort. In that respect alone the book commends
itself to the favor of parents who have a regard for the
education of their sons, but the story is sufficiently
enlivening and often thrilling to satisfy the healthful desires
of the young reader."--_Kansas City Star._
"Of standard writers of boys' stories there is quite a list,
but those who have not read any by Edward Stratemeyer have
missed a very goodly thing."--_Boston Ideas._
