In all of Captain King's stories the author holds to lofty ideals of
manhood and womanhood, and inculcates the lessons of honor, generosity,
courage, and self-control.--_Literary World_, Boston.
The vivacity and charm which signally distinguish Captain King's pen....
He occupies a position in American literature entirely his own.... His
is the literature of honest sentiment, pure and tender.... His heroes
and his charming heroines are the product of the army, and it is
pleasant to meet, even in this intangible way, women who can break their
hearts and men who would die rather than sacrifice their honor.--_N.Y.
Press._
A romance by Captain King is always a pleasure, because he has so
complete a mastery of the subjects with which he deals.... Captain King
has few rivals in his domain.... The general tone of Captain King's
stories is highly commendable. The heroes are simple, frank, and
soldierly; the heroines are dignified and maidenly in the most
unconventional situations.--_Epoch_, N.Y.
All Captain King's stories are full of spirit and with the true ring
about them.--_Philadelphia Item._
Captain King's stories of army life are so brilliant and intense, they
have such a ring of true experience, and his characters are so life-like
and vivid that the announcement of a new one is always received with
pleasure.--_New Haven Palladium._
Captain King is a delightful story-teller.--_Washington Post._
In the delineation of war scenes Captain King's style is crisp and
vigorous, inspiring in the breast of the reader a thrill of genuine
patriotic fervor.--_Boston Commonwealth._
Captain King is almost without a rival in the field he has chosen....
His style is at once vigorous and sentimental in the best sense of that
word, so that his novels are pleasing to young men as well as young
women.--_Pittsburgh Bulletin._
It is good to think that there is at least one man who believes that all
the spirit of romance and chivalry has not yet died out of the world,
and that there are as brave and honest hearts to-day as there were in
the days of knights and paladins.--_Philadelphia Record._
