By EDWARD STRATEMEYER
FIRST VOLUME
_WITH WASHINGTON IN THE WEST_
_Or a Soldier Boy's Battles in the Wilderness_
Illustrated by A. B. Shute 302 pages $1.25
Mr. Stratemeyer has woven into an excellent story something of Washington's youthful experience as a surveyor, leading on to the always thrilling Braddock's defeat. The hero, David Morris, is several years younger than Washington, with whom he becomes intimately associated. Pictures of pioneer life are given; scenes with friendly Indians; and old-time games.
SECOND VOLUME
_MARCHING ON NIAGARA_ _Or The Soldier Boys of the Old Frontier_
Illustrated by A. B. Shute Price $1.25
The story relates the doings of two young soldiers who join the Colonial forces in a march on Fort Niagara, during the time of the war with France, when the whole territory between the Blue Ridge and the Great Lakes was in a state of unrest. Many side lights are thrown into the colonial homes, and much useful information is given of the pioneers who helped to make our country what it is to-day.
David Morris is a fine fellow, and about him is woven a fine "Injun" story that is sure to delight the boys.--_Universalist Leader, Boston._
THIRD VOLUME
_AT THE FALL OF MONTREAL_ _Or a Soldier Boy's Final Victory_
Illustrated by A. B. Shute Price $1.25
This volume relates the adventures of Dave Morris and his cousin Henry during the two last campaigns against the French for the possession of Canada and the territory below the great lakes. The scaling of the heights of Quebec under General Wolfe, and the memorable battle on the Plains of Abraham, are given in detail. There are many stirring scenes of battle, and there are also adventures while fishing and hunting, and with the Indians.
The chief charm of Mr. Stratemeyer's stories lies in the fact that an enormous quantity of valuable information, collected from the most reliable sources, is deftly woven into the narrative without taking away from the interest.--_Philadelphia Inquirer._

FOURTH VOLUME
ON THE TRAIL OF PONTIAC Or _Pioneer Boys of the Ohio_
Illustrated by A. B. Shute Price $1.25
This volume tells of times in our country immediately after the war with France for the possession of Canada. A fight with the Indians and the French in a snowstorm is especially realistic, and the entire book carries with it the atmosphere of colonial times.
Boys are attracted to stories by Edward Stratemeyer, and they will enjoy "On the Trail of Pontiac."--_Plain Dealer, Cleveland, O._
