Adventures Of Pioneer Children, or Life in
the Wilderness by e. F. Colerick, purports to
be q portrayal of tha part performed by the
children Of the early pioneers of the West. The
stories are probably largely imaginary, but
thes relate acts of bravery and patriotism which
might DO true and incidents that might have
happened. The perusal of the book by the boys
and girls of the present day will have a tendency
to make them better appreciate the great bless
ings and privileges they enjoy. by contrasting
their life Of comparative ease and comfort with
the life Of deprivation and peril led by pioneer
children. Cloth, 81 Cincinnati: Robert Clarke
