CONCERNING "INTO THE PRIMITIVE"

"The story if unhackneyed in treatment as it is unusual in conception. The author has an incisive, almost staccato crispness and directness in style, entirely in accord with the tale he tells."—Brooklyn Times.


CONCERNING "FOR THE WHITE CHRIST"

"Back to the days of knighthood and chivalry, back to the days of terrible hate and vengeance in warfare, back to the old-time vikings pitted in awful array against their foes, with all the briny flavor of the cold North Seas, with all the courage and vitality which accentuated all the deeds of daring in the time of Charlemange, the entranced reader finds himself.—Denver Post.
