1913. From The Young Kentuckians Series. General John H. Morgan was one of the most picturesque figures in the Civil War, an officer without a peer in his chosen line. During the two years of his brilliant career he captured and paroled at least ten thousand Federal soldiers, and kept three times that number in the rear of the Federal army guarding communications. The adventures of Calhoun as a secret agent of the Knights of the Golden Circle opens up a portion of the history of the Civil War which may be almost unknown to our younger readers. During the war the whole North was honeycombed with secret societies, whose members denounced Lincoln as a usurper and a bloody monster, and maintained that the government had no right to coerce the South. They resisted the draft, encouraged desertions, and embarrassed the Federal Government in every way possible. In secret many of the leaders plotted armed rebellion, the liberation of Confederate prisoners, and the burning of Northern cities. They held out inducements to the South to invade the North, and there is but little doubt that Morgan was lured to his destruction by their representations.

1905. The fourth volume of From The Young Kentuckians Series. The book deals with the march of Sherman from Atlanta to the Sea, with Hood's campaign in Tennessee, with Sherman's raid through the Carolinas and with the closing scenes of the war. While flavoring the story with a spice of romance, the author has been careful never to sacrifice truth to partisanship. So far as these tales depict the young hero's joys and sorrows, his wooing and his wedding, their object is to entertain; but so far as they depict important events in the war, their aim is to instruct.
