WITH CUSTER IN THE BLACK HILLS; or, A Young Scout among the Indians

This is a complete story in itself, but forms the sixth and last volume of Captain Bonehill’s popular “Flag of Freedom” Series.  It tells of the remarkable experiences of a youth who, with his parent, goes to the Black Hills in search of gold.  Custer’s last battle is well described.  A volume every lad fond of Indian stories should possess.

BOYS OF THE FORT; or, A Young Captain’s Pluck

Captain Bonehill is at his best when relating a tale of military adventure, and this story of stirring doings at one of our well-known forts in the Wild West is of more than ordinary interest.  The young captain had a difficult task to accomplish, but he had been drilled to do his duty, and he did it thoroughly.  Gives a good insight into army life of to-day.

THE YOUNG BANDMASTER; or, Concert Stage and Battlefield

In this tale Captain Bonehill touches upon a new field.  The hero is a youth with a passion for music, who, compelled to make his own way in the world, becomes a cornetist in an orchestra, and works his way up, first, to the position of a soloist, and then to that of leader of a brass band.  He is carried off to sea and falls in with a secret-service cutter bound for Cuba, and while in that island joins a military band which accompanies our soldiers in the never-to-be-forgotten attack on Santiago.  A mystery connected with the hero’s inheritance adds to the interest of the tale.

OFF FOR HAWAII; or, The Mystery of a Great Volcano

Here we have fact and romance cleverly interwoven.  Several boys start on a tour of the Hawaiian Islands.  They have heard that there is a treasure located in the vicinity of Kilauea, the largest active volcano in the world, and go in search of it.  Their numerous adventures will be followed with much interest.

A SAILOR BOY WITH DEWEY; or, Afloat in the Philippines

The story of Dewey’s victory in Manila Bay will never grow old, but here we have it told in a new form—­not as those in command witnessed the contest, but as it appeared to a real, live American youth who was in the navy at the time.  Many adventures in Manila and in the interior follow, giving true-to-life scenes from this remote portion of the globe.  A book that should be in every boy’s library.

WHEN SANTIAGO FELL; or, The War Adventures of Two Chums

Captain Bonehill has never penned a better tale than this stirring story of adventures in Cuba.  Two boys, an American and his Cuban chum, leave New York to join their parents in the interior of Cuba.  The war between Spain and the Cubans is on, and the boys are detained at Santiago de Cuba, but escape by crossing the bay at night.  Many adventures between the lines
