-* By James R. (Jilmork (Edmund Kirke). With Portrait of 

 John Sevier, and Map. l2mo. Cloth, $1.50, 



" The Rear-Guard of the Revolution " is a narrative of the adventures of the 

 pioneers that first crossed the Alleghanies and settled in what is now Tennessee, under 

 the leadership of two remarkable men, James Robertson and John Sevier. The title 

 of the book is derived from the fact that a body of hardy volvmteers, under the leader* 

 ship of Sevier, crossed the mountains, and by their timely arrival secured the defeat 

 of the British army at King's Mountain.

^HE ADVANCE-GUARD OF WESTERN 

 CIVILIZA TlOiV. By James R. Gilmore (Edmund Kirke). 

 With Map, and Portrait of James Robertson. i2mo. Cloth, $1.50. 



This work is in a measure a continuation of the thrilling story told by the a>ithor in 

 his two preceding volumes, "The Rear-Guard of the Revolution" and "John Sevier 

 as a Commonwealth-Builder." The three volumes together cover, says the author 

 in his preface, "a neglected period of American history, and they disclose facts well 

 worthy the attention of historians — namely, that these Western men turned the tide 

 of the American Revolution, and subsequently saved the newly-formed Union from 

 disruption, and thereby made possible our present great republic."
