United States -- History -- War of 1812 -- Juvenile fiction
“Two Young Patriots” takes up as its pivotal point, Burgoyne’s
invasion, and the narrative deals particularly with the historic events
connected with the campaign. It not only gives to the reader a story,
but also a most correct outline of the Invasion itself. The book is
full of fervor, fire and fun, and its author here reasserts his claim
to consideration as a high-class writer for first-rate books for
boys.--_S. S. Times._

A story of Burgoyne’s invasion. Indians and Indian warfare naturally
have a very large place in these picturesque pages, and the reader will
travel on through the book with breathless interest until he reaches
the culmination of the story in the surrender of Saratoga.--_Book
Buyer._

A very shrewdly-planned campaign was Burgoyne’s invasion, but it was
equally shrewdly met by the colonists. Such is the basis of “Two Young
Patriots,” and the story loses nothing in the author’s telling, for he
has spared no pains with his historic accuracy, and it will doubtless
convey to its readers a clearer idea of this pivotal point in the
Revolution than they have ever enjoyed before.--_The Interior._
[Illustration]
It is exciting and thrilling, maintaining a strong interest throughout
its pages. The make-up of the book is remarkably good, and the
illustrations form a splendid addition.--_Journal of Education._

A story of Burgoyne’s invasion must take the boy reader by

_BOOKS BY WILLIAM DRYSDALE_
THE YOUNG REPORTER
A STORY OF PRINTING HOUSE SQUARE
_300 pp. Cloth. $1.50_
If ever a writer knew how to tell a rattling story that almost lifts
you off your feet on the first page, it is William Drysdale. His style
is vivacious and racy, and the events hurry along like the current of a
stream above a cascade. The story in itself is intensely interesting,
but, aside from its interest, it gives an insight into the life of a
great daily paper of the city that it would be hard to find elsewhere.
Thus the book is instructive as well as captivating.--_Lutheran
Evangelist._

“The Young Reporter” is a rattling book for boys. It is written by Mr.
William Drysdale, a retired journalist, who has held responsible desks
upon the Sun, the Recorder and other papers, and who knows just what he
is talking about.--_New York Recorder._
[Illustration]
A genuine boys’ book for genuine boys. It is full of life, clean, clear
cut, and inspiring. We can commend this book to any lover of boys’
stories. It is illustrated with spirit, the pictures adding greatly to
the attractiveness of the book.--_Journal of Education._
[Illustration]
This is a story of real power, full of life and action, and will
enlist the interest of every stirring and wide-awake boy.--_Herald &
Presbyter._
