What Katy Did at School.
Little. 1.25
The sequel to What Katy Did tells of the boarding-school days of Katy

these two delightful sisters, with their simple honorable standards.

"The incidents of this tale occurred between the years 1740 and
1745.... Broad belts of the virgin wilderness ... affording forest
covers to the noiseless moccasin of the native warrior, as he
trod the secret and bloody war-path."

pompous and stilted, but all boys should read this account of the New
York settlers' warfare against the Iroquois and know Deerslayer, the
picturesque frontiersman.
