NEW BOOKS FOR GIRLS
ANOTHER “GIRL PATRIOT” STORY
By EMILIE BENSON KNIFE and ALDEN A. KNIFE
Authors of “A Maid of '76,” “Polly Trotter, Patriot,” etc.
Dorothea Drummond, a young Scotch girl on a visit to relations in the South during the Civil War, learns that in the household there is a member of the “Red String,” a mysterious society, pledged to work against the Confederacy and to help escaping prisoners. Who is it? Beautiful April May, a rebel through and through, who has parted from her lover because he did not volunteer? Quaint Miss Imogene, with her memories of a favorite suitor from the North? Mrs. May, an avowed submissionist? Val Tracy, a care-free Irishman fighting for the love of a good fight? Or is it one of the servants, daring much when freedom is near?
Mr. and Mrs. Knipe tell a story of tangled fortune in “Girls of ’64” that a girl of 18 (or 19) will hardly put down before its happy ending is reached.
OTHER BOOKS FROM THE “GIRL PATRIOT” SERIES
It is full of action and holds the interest from the first page; it gives a much more vivid picture of colonial times than a child could get from half a dozen histories.
“The books which Dr. and Mrs. Knipe have written are more than worthy of praise, for they represent the best type of juvenile fiction.”—Boston Herald.
With rare ability the authors have woven their careful historical knowledge about an exciting tale of Peter Stuyvesant’s time. It will inspire the reader with the same sympathy for those early patriots as the other books in this splendid series.
