Excerpt from A West-Pointer in the Land of the Mikado
As to the book itself, what shall I say? It is first of all the sketch of a thoroughly manly man. The soldier hero of the story is bound to appeal to the imagination of young and old alike. Many a boy will change his view of missions and missionaries as he comes to know the tall, splendid man here pictured. And many a girl will read in this narrative of sacred purposes in home life, which, if cherished universally, would transform the world.
