Miss Dix has gone back to early Colonial days for the scene of her new historical novel, which brings before us a vivid picture of the trials and hardships of the early pioneers, and the heroism produced thereby. It is a story of adventure, full of manly spirit and honest purpose. The author in her previous story set for herself a high standard of excellence. “Hugh Gwyeth” was greeted by critics both in this country and in England as a remarkable historical novel, and to the author was given the highest praise, not only for the interest of the plot, but for its high moral purpose and noteworthy style.
