And so, leaving her with McCrea, laughing with a world of gladness, he broke away, his heart too full for further words, his eyes brimming at the thought of all the love and pride and blessing in her face, and up the steps he sprang, halting one instant to wave his hand to her; then into the cool depths of the hall he darted, and we have had our last peep at the gray-clad form of Corporal Pops.
FOLLOWING THE GUIDON. Illustrated. Post 8vo, Cloth, Ornamental, $1 50.
The story is a thrillingly interesting one, charmingly told.... Mrs. Custer gives sketches photographic in their fidelity to fact, and touches them with the brush of the true artist just enough to give them coloring. It is a charming volume.—_Boston Traveller._
Mrs. Custer has the faculty of making her reader see and feel with her.... The whole country is indebted to Mrs. Custer for so faithfully depicting phases of a kind of army life now almost passed away.—_Boston Advertiser._
The book is crowded with the amusing and exciting details of a life strange indeed to those who have spent their time sitting tranquilly at home. Her observation is so quick, her descriptive powers so picturesque, that the camp and the skirmish seem to live before the reader.—_Springfield Republican._
BOOTS AND SADDLES; Or, Life in Dakota with General Custer. With Portrait of General Custer. 12mo, Cloth, Ornamental, $1 50.
A book of adventure is interesting reading, especially when it is all true, as is the case with "Boots and Saddles." ... Mrs. Custer does not obtrude the fact that sunshine and solace went with her to tent and fort, but it inheres in her narrative none the less, and as a consequence "these simple annals of our daily life," as she calls them, are never dull nor uninteresting.—_Evangelist_, N. Y.
We have no hesitation is saying that no better or more satisfactory life of General Custer could have been written. Indeed, we may as well speak the thought that is in us, and say plainly that we know of no biographical work anywhere which we count better than this.... It is enriched in every chapter with illustrative anecdotes and incidents, and here and there a little life story of pathetic interest is told as an episode.—_N. Y. Commercial Advertiser._
