WITH CROCKETT AND BOWIE; OR, FIGHTING FOR THE LONE STAR FLAG. A TALE OF
TEXAS. With 8 full-page illustrations by VICTOR PERARD.
The story is of the Texas revolution in 1835, when American Texans under
Sam Houston, Bowie, Crockett, and Travis, fought for relief from the
intolerable tyranny of the Mexican Santa Ana. The hero, Rex Hardin, son
of a Texas ranchman, and graduate of an American military school, takes
a prominent part in the heroic defense of the Alamo, the terrible scenes
at Golead, and the final triumph at San Jacinto. The historical side of
the story has been carefully studied and its localities rendered
familiar by a special trip to Texas undertaken by the author for that
purpose within a year.
*PREVIOUS VOLUMES*
THROUGH SWAMP AND GLADE. A TALE OF THE SEMINOLE WAR. With 8 full-page
illustrations by VICTOR PERARD. 12mo, $1.25.
In this new story Mr. Munroe opens to view an exceedingly interesting
period of American history--the period of the Seminole War in Florida.
Coacoochee, the hero of the story, is a young Indian of noble birth, the
son of Philip, the chieftain of the Seminoles. He is a boy at the time
of the beginning of the Seminole troubles and grows up to lead his tribe
in the long struggle which resulted in the Indians being driven from the
north of Florida down to the distant southern wilderness. It is full of
strange adventure, of stirring incident and rapid action, and it is a
true and faithful picture of a period of history little known to young
readers.

REDSKIN. With 8 full-page illustrations by J. FINNEMORE. 12mo, $1.25.
A story of old days in America when Detroit was a frontier town and the
shores of Lake Erie were held by hostile Indians, under Pontiac. The
hero, Donald Hester, goes in search of his sister Edith, who has been
captured by the Indians. Strange and terrible are his experiences; for
he is wounded, taken prisoner, condemned to be burned, and contrives to
escape. In the end there is peace between Pontiac and the English, and
all things terminate happily for the hero. One dares not skip a page of
this entralling story.

illustrations by W. S. STACEY. 12mo. $1.25.
This story deals with the Conquest of Mexico by Cortes and his
