“There is no sentimentalism in this series. 
It is all downright matter-of-fact boy life, and 
of course they are deeply interested in read¬ 
ing it. The history of pioneer life is so 
attractive that one involuntarily wishes to 
renew those early struggles with adverse 
circumstances, and join the busy actors in 
their successful efforts to build up pleasant 
homes on our sea-girt islands.” — Zion's 
Herald.

The romance surrounding the adventurous 
live of Western pioneers and immigrants 
has suggested nearly as many stories as the 
chivalnc deeds of knight-errantry. These 
tales of frontier life are, however, as a rule, 
characterized by such wildness of fancy and 
such extravagancy of language that we have 
often wondered why another Cervantes did 
not ridicule our border romances by describ¬ 
ing a second Don Quixote’s adventures on 
the prairies. We are pleased to notice, that 
in the new series of Frontier Tales, by Lee 
& Shepard, there is an agreeable absence of 
sensational writing, of that maudlin senti¬ 
mentality which make the generality of such 
tales nauseous.” — Standard.
