Book Description

Excerpt from Boys of the Fort, or a Young Captain's Pluck Boys OF the fort is a complete story in itself, but forms the fifth volume Of a line of works issued under the general title of Flag of Free dom Series. In penning this tale I had it in mind to acquaint my young readers with the ins and outs of mili tary life at one of our Western forts of to - day, showing what both officers and privates are called upon to do, and what troubles the Indians and the bad men of that locality are still in the habit of making. The field is one about which little has been written, although abounding in interest, and one which is worthy the attention of all who have the proper development of our country at heart. To some, certain scenes in this book may appear overdrawn, yet such is far from being the case. In this wild territory there are those who have lived all their. Lives beyond the pale of civilization, men who grow up dwarfed and crooked in mind, and who resent every effort made to better their condition.
