FLAG OF FREEDOM SERIES
By CAPTAIN RALPH BONEHILL
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 pa.s.sion 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 bra.s.s 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 accompanied 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 follow, and a good pen-picture of General Garcia is given. The American lad, with others, is captured and cast into a dungeon in Santiago; and then follows the never-to-be-forgotten campaign in Cuba under General Shafter. How the hero finally escapes makes reading no wide-awake boy will want to miss.
