CIVIL WAR STORIES BY WARREN LEE GOSS
=IN THE NAVY=, (7th Thousand) Illustrated, 399 Pages, =A Story of naval
adventures during the Civil war=.
“_The Marine Journal_” says of it: “The author, takes as usual for
his fiction, a foundation of reality, and therefore the story reads
like a transcript of real life. There are many dramatic scenes, such
as the battle between the Monitor and the Merrimac, and the reader
follows the adventures of the two heroes with a keen interest that
must make the story popular especially at the present time.”
=TOM CLIFTON, A story of adventures in Grant and Sherman’s armies.=
(13th Thousand) Illustrated, 480 pages. 12mo. Cloth.
“_The Detroit Free Press_” says of it, “The book is the very epitome
of what the young soldiers, who helped to save the Union, felt,
endured and enjoyed. It is wholesome, stimulating to patriotism and
manhood, noble in tone, unstained by any hint of sectionalism, full
of good feeling; the work of a hero who himself did what he saw and
relates.”
=JACK ALDEN: Adventures in the Virginia Campaigns, 1861-65.= (12th
Thousand) Illustrated, 404 pages.
“_The New York Nation_” says of it: “It is an unusually interesting
story. Its pictures of scenes and incidents of army life, from the
march of the 6th Massachusetts regiment through Baltimore to the
surrender at Appomattox, are among the best that we can remember to
have read.”
=JED. A boy’s adventures in the army.= (28th Thousand) Illustrated, 402
pages. 12mo. Cloth.
“_The Boston Beacon_” among other complimentary remarks about this
book says: “Of all the many stories of the Civil War that have been
published--and their name is legion--it is not possible to mention
one which for sturdy realism, intensity of interest, and range of
narrative, can compare with Jed.”
=A LIFE OF GRANT FOR BOYS AND GIRLS.= Illustrated. 12mo. Cloth.
“_The Christian Advocate_” (_Cincinnati_) says of it: “One of the
best lives of U. S. Grant that we have seen--clear, circumstantial,
but without undue and fulsome praise. The chapters telling of the
clouds of misfortune and suffering over the close of his life are
pathetic in the extreme.”
=THE BOY’S LIFE OF GENERAL SHERIDAN.= Illustrated. 12mo. Cloth.
The “_Living Church_” (_Milwaukee_) says of it: “The story of the
dashing officer in his war career and also afterwards--in his
campaigns among the Indians, form a thrilling story of American
leadership. The book contains a thorough review in thrilling language
of the various campaigns in which Sheridan made his mark.”
