The many admirers of the brilliant historical romances of the late
Robert Neilson Stephens will be gratified at the announcement of a
posthumous work by that gifted writer. The rough draft of the story was
laid aside for other work, and later, without completing the novel, the
plot was utilized for a play. With the play completed Mr. Stephens again
turned his attention to the novel, but death prevented its completion.
Mr. Roberts has handled his difficult task of completing the work with
care and skill.
The story, like that of "The Continental Dragoon," takes as its theme an
incident in the Revolution, and, as in the earlier novel, the scene is
the "debatable ground" north of New York. In interest of plot and
originality of development it is as remarkable as the earlier work, but
it is more mature, more forceful, more _real_.
