Chapter XII: Down the Yukon and Home (6)

“With the observant and indulgent eye of an old traveller, Mr. Stevens has seen everything in the islands worth seeing, and has described what he has seen in a most interesting manner.... All is set forth by the narrator in a breezy, chatty way that would be entertaining under any circumstances.”

_THE WAR ON SEA AND LAND_

THE CUBAN AND PORTO RICAN CAMPAIGNS

By RICHARD HARDING DAVIS

With 117 illustrations from photographs and with 4 maps. _Twentieth thousand._ 12mo, $1.50

“Never has a war been reported as this has been, and never has a history been written like this, by one who saw it all--while the blood was hot and the memory vivid.”--New York _World_.

“This is much the most vivid and readable of all the books on the war that have appeared so far, and it is full of life and color and incidents that show the sort of stuff of which our soldiers were made. The book is written with a keenness, a vivacity, a skill and a power to thrill and to leave an impression which mark a decided advance over anything that even Mr. Davis has written heretofore.”--Boston _Herald_.

OUR NAVY IN THE WAR WITH SPAIN

By JOHN R. SPEARS

_Author of “The History of Our Navy”_

With 125 illustrations from photographs and with charts and diagrams. 12mo, $2.00

“Mr. Spears has plainly put his best efforts into that mighty combat, the sea-Gettysburg of the war, the death-grapple of Cervera’s ships and Sampson’s. His story of the action of July 3d is superb. It is the most lucid and comprehensive description which has yet been laid before the American people, and it is made all the more valuable by the official chart of the ships’ courses which accompanies it. As a whole, Mr. Spears’s book is not only true to technical details, but it is a spirited and admirable piece of literary workmanship. It is one of the few volumes out of the many hurriedly issued in the wake of the war which will endure the test of time and stand as a faithful, competent picture to future generations.”--Boston _Journal_.
