It is a classic work of American literature that is sure to captivate readers of all ages.1876. Another volume from Kellogg's The Forest Glen Series. The story contained in these pages is one of strong lights and dark shades; and it is thus in virtue of the stormy period during which the events narrated occurred, and because it presents a life-picture of the character and circumstances of men and women who deliberately entered upon a struggle in which life was at stake. The Black Rifle, whose feats were the subject of conversation at the settler's fireside, is no imaginary character, but moved a master spirit among the fierce fighters of those dark and bloody days.
