About this title

Review

"It is cause for rejoicing that another volume-Forayers is the eighth-is now added to the University of Arkansas Press's distinguished series. I cannot imagine a more important editorial and publishing project in the field of nineteenth-century literature. With good texts available for the first time in a century or more, it is possible for critics, scholars, students, and general readers to study, understand, and re-evaluate this most neglected and underrated of American writers."

..".Full of striking adventures racily narrated. For conveying vivid pictures of the war in the south, during the Revolutionary struggles, the series of volumes to which this work belongs, may be said to be unmatched in our literature."

"The best novelist which this country has, on the whole, produced."
