ARMY AND NAVY STORIES.
THE SOLDIER BOY; or, Tom Somers in the Army. 16mo. Illustrated. $1.50.
“This is a story of the rebellion, narrating the adventures of a
patriotic youth, who left the comforts of home to share the dangers
of the field. He is carried through several battles, and for a while
shared the hospitalities of the rebels as a prisoner. The story is true
to history, giving in the form of personal adventure correct accounts
of many stirring scenes of the war.”--_Hartford Courant._
THE SAILOR BOY; or, Jack Somers in the Navy. 16mo. Illustrated. $1.50.
“Jack is the brother of Tom, the Soldier Boy, whose adventures in the
army were so much enjoyed. We have only to repeat that there are few
better stories for boys than these of Mr. Adams’. Always bright and
even sparkling with animation, the story never drags; there are no
stupid tasks or tiresome descriptions; the boys whose characters are
drawn are real boys, impulsive, with superabundant animal life, and the
heroes are manly, generous, healthy creations.”--_Hartford Press._
