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."
