CAPTAIN JACK THE SCOUT; or, The Indian Wars about Old Fort Duquesne. An
Historical Novel, with copious notes. By CHARLES MCKNIGHT. Illustrated
with eight engravings. 12mo. Cloth, extra, black and gold, $1.50.
A work of such rare merit and thrilling interest as to have been
republished both in England and Germany. This genuine American
historical work has been received with extraordinary popular favor,
and has "won golden opinions from all sorts of people" for its
freshness, its forest life, and its fidelity to truth. In many
instances it even corrects History and uses the drapery of fiction
simply to enliven and illustrate the fact.
It is a universal favorite with both sexes, and with all ages and
conditions, and is not only proving a marked and notable success in
this country, but has been eagerly taken up abroad and republished
in London, England, and issued in two volumes in the far-famed
"Tauchnitz Edition" of Leipsic, Germany.
