"--_San Jose
Mercury_.
Every boy of our acquaintance likes the books by Trowbridge. Every
young girl ought to enjoy them, also, for they are wholesome, true
to nature and human nature, and full of good sentiment. His stories
are always interesting, sometimes thrilling, and often they contain
much information, either of history or natural history.

Woodie Thorpe's Pilgrimage And other Stories
To see life as it is, and depict it by easy and truthful touches,
is a high attainment. Mr. Trowbridge has abundantly vindicated his
claim to a place among the writers to whom readers attribute the
grace and power of naturalness. "Woodie Thorpe's Pilgrimage,"
"Uncle Caleb's Roan Colt," "Lost on the Tide," etc., are all stories
of deep interest, which one will follow with attention. The book
does not preach, but conveys some salutary lessons.
There is many and many a volume written for boys, but they are not
all alike beneficial; therefore the standard writers, to which class
belongs Mr. Trowbridge, may undisputably claim a kingdom whose
reigning motto is manliness.
