OPINIONS OF THE PRESS 
New York Sun—‘‘The incidents of pioneer life 
would excite interest even if they were less well 
handled.” 
New York Times-—“Entertaining reading.” 
Syracuse Herald—‘‘Has handled his subject well.” 
Southern Star (Atlanta)—‘‘It has the life, the col- 
oring, the very breath of those pioneer days.” 
Recreation—“Recounts vividly the perils, the hard- 
ships and the privations of the sturdy pioneers.” 
Public Opinion—“Written primarily for the benefit 
of the Revolutionary Daughters Societies, will 
interest others equally.” 
Brooklyn Daily Eagle—“One welcomes most cor- 
dially the appearance of a Fenimore Cooper fron- 
tier story which is told without melodramatic 
exaggeration, without tiresome prolixity (Cooper’s 
fatal fault), and with a just and well poised ad- 
mixture of history and romance.” 
Zanesville Daily Courier—‘‘Every school girl knows 
and loves Betty Zane, the heroine of the be- 
leaguered garrison at Wheeling, long, long ago. 
Dr. Grey has portrayed the real Betty Zane; and 
has given us the real thing in pioneer life.’ FORT HENRY
