Will be a grand, good story of the Santee morasses, viz.
SQUATTER DICK: OR, The Swamp Fox’s Oath.
BY JOS. E. BADGER, JR., Author of “The Masked Guide,” “Redlaw, the Half-Breed,” etc.
Murder, rapine, outrage on person and property—these were concomitants of the old War of Independence in the Carolinas, where the British ruled with the sword, the hangman’s rope and the torch. Dwellings blazed, citizens were hunted down or driven to the swamps, women were insulted, lands laid desolate. Then it was that Marion became the Swamp Fox and Sumter became the Wild Night Rider, whose terrible blows for freedom made the haughty foe tremble. Their companions were true sons of the soil, who, taking to the jungles, for nearly three years led lives of hunted men.
The author, in this truly interesting novel, gives startlingly real personations of the swamp men, and of one in particular—a trailer, on a mission of vengeance which is fearfully wrought out.
It is a story to profoundly stir the feelings, to please, and to inspire renewed interest in this “noble series of purely American Romance” (as a leading New York Journal fitly characterizes it)—Beadle’s Dime Novels, the most widely-circulated books of modern times.
