Excerpt from The Last of the Flatboats: A Story of the Mississippi and Its Interesting Family of Rivers Vevay, from which "The Last of the Flatboats" starts on its voyage down the Mississippi, is a beautiful little Indiana town on the Ohio River, about midway between Cincinnati and Louisville. The town and Switzerland County, of which it is the capital, were settled by a company of energetic and thrifty Swiss immigrants, about the year 1805. Their family names are still dominant in the town. I recall the following as familiar to me there in my boyhood: Grisard, Thiebaud, Le Clerc, Moreraud, Detraz. Tardy, Malin, Golay, Courvoisseur, Danglade, Bettens, Minnit, Violet, Dufour, Dumont, Duprez, Medary, Schenck, and others of Swiss origin. The name Thiebaud, used in this story, was always pronounced "Kaybo" in Vevay. The name Moreraud was called "Murrow."

The road was a winding, twisting track as it threaded its way through a stretch of old field pines. The land was nearly level at that point, and quite unobstructed, so that there was not the slightest reason that ordinary intelligence could discover for the roadway's devious wanderings. It might just as well have run straight through the pine lands.

The Big Brother-A Story of Indian War is a classic American Indian history text by George Cary Eggleston. In the quiet days of peace and security in which we live it is difficult to imagine such a time of excitement as that at which our story opens, in the summer of 1813. From the beginning of that year, the Creek Indians in Alabama and Mississippi had shown a decided disposition to become hostile. In addition to the usual incentives to war which always exist where the white settlements border closely upon Indian territory, there were several special causes operating to bring about a struggle at that time. We were already at war with the British, and British agents were very active in stirring up trouble on our frontiers, knowing that nothing would so surely weaken the Americans as a general outbreak of Indian hostilities. Tecumseh, the great chief, had visited the Creeks, too, and had urged them to go on the war path, threatening them, in the event of their refusal, with the wrath of the Great Spirit.

Excerpt from A Captain in the Ranks: A Romance of Affairs This story is intended to supplement the trilogy of romances in which I have endeavored to show forth the Virginian character under varying conditions. "Dorothy South" dealt with Virginia life and character before the Confederate war. "The Master of Warlock" had to do with the Virginians during the early years of the war, when their struggle seemed hopeful of success. "Evelyn Byrd" was a study of the same people as they confronted certain disaster and defeat. The present story is meant to complete the picture. It deals with that wonderful upbuilding of the great West which immediately followed the war, and in which the best of the young Virginians played an important part. The personages of the story are real, and its events are mainly facts, thinly veiled. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Camp Venture: A Story of the Virginia Mountains "I'm tired, and the other pack mules are tired, I and from the way you move I imagine that the rest of you donkeys are tired!" called out Jack Ridsdale, as the last of the mules and their drivers scrambled up the bank and gained a secure foothold on the little plateau. "I move that we camp here for the night. All in favor say 'aye.' The motion's carried unanimously." With that the tall boy threw off the pack that burdened his shoulders, set his gun up against a friendly tree and proceeded in other ways to relieve himself of the restraints under which he had toiled up the steep mountain side since early morning, with only now and then a minute's pause for breath.

If you open your mouth again, I'll drive my fist down your throat!" The young man, or boy rather, -for he was not yet eighteen years old, -who made this very emphatic remark, was a stalwart, well-built youth, lithe of limb, elastic in movement, slender, straight, tall, with a rather thin face, upon which there was as yet no trace of coming beard, high cheek bones, and eyes that seemed almost to emit sparks of fire as their lids snapped rapidly together. He spoke in a low tone, without a sign of anger in his voice, but with a look of earnestness which must have convinced the person to whom he addressed his not very suave remark, that he really meant to do precisely what he threatene
