It is the best book for boys that we have seen this holiday season. The book contains a faithful account of the movements of the opposing armies that culminated in the famous battle of Old Monmouth in the Revolutionary War. It is not, on this account, dry history. It is interesting to the point of fascination. It abounds with incidents and adventure of the healthful sort, taken from early records and family traditions. No book has come so near giving a true picture of the sufferings, heroism, privations and struggles of the men and women of Old Monmouth than whom there were none braver or wrought more valiantly for their country."
