A story of action and adventure such as all healthy boys like, telling of a plucky young American who defended his country’s flag against mobs in Spain and foemen in Cuba, and had many thrilling experiences.

Book: In Defence of the Flag

“Suffice it to say that he will be a lucky boy, with many a thrill before him, who finds this book in his Christmas stocking. Don is a hero after every boy’s heart.”—Boston Herald.

WITH LAWTON AND ROBERTS

A Boy’s Adventures in the Philippines and the Transvaal

Illustrated by C. Chase Emerson 12mo Cloth $1.25

The stirring adventures of a manly American boy who follows Lawton in his last campaigns, and by a singular train of circumstances has “moving accidents by flood and field,” in two wars, with American soldiers, Filipino insurrectos, Malay pirates, English troopers, and Boer burghers.

“Mr. Brooks presents vivid pictures of both wars, so widely separated. His pages are full of the swift-moving incidents which boys love. Dull indeed must be the young reader whose interest flags.”—Boston Journal.

Book: Under the Allied Flags

UNDER THE ALLIED FLAGS

A Boy’s Adventures in China During the Boxer Revolt

Illustrated by W. F. Stecher 12mo Cloth $1.25

The stirring story of an American boy’s adventures in Tien Tsin and Pekin, in the ranks of the International troops and as one of the defenders of the beleaguered legations. Up-to-date, absorbing, and full of healthy excitement. Characters who are in the stories “With Lawton and Roberts” and “In Defence of the Flag” reappear in this story.

“Men and women, boys and girls, of all the mingled nationalities that made this war in China so picturesque, appear in the story and give it vigor, variety, and unflagging interest.”—Cleveland World.
