"The natural progress of this series has brought us to a period in the history of our young friends, when, instead of labors in a measure voluntary, pursued at home, amid home comforts, they toil for exacting masters or the public, enter into competition with others, feel the pressure of responsibility, learn submission, and are tied down to rigid rules and severe tasks. The manner in which they meet and sustain these new and trying relations shows the stuff they are made of; that the fear of God in a young heart is a shield in the hour of temptation, the foundation of true courage, and the strongest incentive to manly effort; that he who does the best for his employer does the best for himself; that the boy in whose character are the germs of sterling worth, and a true manhood, will scorn to lead a useless life, eat the bread he has not earned, and live upon the bounty of parents and friends." -Elijah Kellogg "There is no sentimentalism in this series. It is all downright matter-of-fact boy life, and of course they are deeply interested in reading 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 "This volume is the fifth of the popular Elm Island Stories, which the young people will hail with pleasure. These volumes are very interesting, being well written, with good moral lessons, and are better reading matter for the family circle than the trashy novels so often found on the drawing-room table. The present volume is full of adventure." -New Bedford Standard "Mr. Kellogg is winning laurels as a writer for and educator of youth. Health and vigor are in his writings, and the lad has more of the first-class man in him after the perusal." -Providence Press

Excerpt from Forest Glen: Or, the Mohawk's FriendshipThe story here presented not only grasps those terrible vicissitudes in which the frontier life of our forefathers was so prolific, but at the same time con veys many useful lessons and incentives to manly effort, and much curious information in relation to a period in the history of Pennsylvania, when her soil was occupied by a population comprising many different races and religious sects, having little in common, and held to gether by the fearful pressure of an Indian war.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
