"In 'Boys of the Light Brigade' Mr. Strang draws upon the resources ofthe Peninsular War, and succeeds in extracting much freshness fromwell-worn themes, as Moore's retreat to Corunna and the heroic defenceof Saragossa. The personal interest of the story is kept at a hightension.... It is a book which no boy will be able to put down whenonce started. The volume is provided with excellent maps and plans ofthe scenes in which the incidents take place."--_The Standard_.
"This author has fairly earned the right to be accepted as thelegitimate successor of the late George A. Henty in furnishingentertainment for youth. Like Henty, Strang manages to galvanize thedry bones of history into a close semblance of glorious life.... Thepresent volume contains vivid and spirited descriptions of campaign lifein Spain ... with many rare and interesting episodes.... This is goodreading for young and old."--_Chicago Post_.
"The author describes graphically with truth to history the last fightof the British commander, Sir John Moore. It is a stirring militarystory in the manner of those written by the late George A. Henty, butreally with more authenticity."--_Philadelphia Press_.
"An interesting story, with extra good measure in its incidents andcharacter ... and with some pretty little love passages."--_ClevelandLeader_.
