"Mr. Patton's style is deserving of unqualified praise. It is

and graceful. We anticipate for the work a cordial reception and
extensive popularity among those who know how to prize the best
books."--_North American Review._
"A very satisfactory account of the history of the country from its
first discovery; not so full as to be unmanageable from its numerous
details, nor so short as to be merely a dry detail of facts and
dates."--_Cleveland Herald._
"With evident integrity of purpose, as well as with rare sagacity,
the author has steered clear of the errors of a partisan, and has
given us the story of the last few years very much as it will be read
by an impartial posterity."--_N. Y. Evangelist._
"Our wonder is that so much of American history could be comprised in
one octavo volume; at the same time, it is very graphically written,
in a clear unostentatious style; our frequent use of it convinces us
of its great accuracy."--_N.Y. Observer._
