George Gary Eggleston's Juveniles
=The Bale Marked Circle X=
A Blockade Running Adventure
Illustrated by C. Chase Emerson. 12mo, red cloth, illustrated cover,
$1.50.
Another of Mr. Eggleston's stirring books for youth. In it are told
the adventures of three boy soldiers in the Confederate Service who
are sent in a sloop on a secret voyage from Charleston to the Bahamas,
conveying a strange bale of cotton which holds important documents.
The boys pass through startling adventures: they run the blockade,
suffer shipwreck, and finally reach their destination after the
pluckiest kind of effort.
=Camp Venture=
A Story of the Virginia Mountains
Illustrated by W. A. McCullough. 12mo, dark red cloth, illustrated
cover, $1.50.
The _Louisville Courier Journal_ says: "George Gary Eggleston has
written a decidedly good tale of pluck and adventure in 'Camp
Venture.' It will be of interest to young and old who enjoy an
exciting story, but there is also a great deal of instruction and
information in the book."
=The Last of the Flatboats=
A Story of the Mississippi
Illustrated by Charlotte Harding. 12mo, green cloth, illustrated
cover, $1.50.
The _Brooklyn Eagle_ says: "Mr. George Gary Eggleston, the veteran
editor and author, has scored a double success in his new book, 'The
Last of the Flatboats,' which has just been published. Written
primarily as a story for young readers, it contains many things that
are of interest to older people. Altogether, it is a mighty good
story, and well worth reading."
