of the pathos and humor of those days."

its ingenious threads. The book is a handsome octavo and is fully
illustrated."
--_Newark Advertiser._

"It tells the story of two Virginia lads left at home on a plantation
while the men went to fight. The youngsters have many adventures,
serious and humorous, and get into trouble and out of it again. The
story abounds in stirring incidents, and gives a very picturesque view
of home life in Virginia during the rebellion. It is _an admirable
juvenile book_, teaching an excellent moral of self-reliance."
