Book Description

January 31, 2007
Paul stopped in a little open space and looked around all the circle of the forest. Everywhere it was the same—just the curving wall of red and brown and beyond the blue sky flecked with tiny clouds of white.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great, Must Read!!!!, July 25, 1998
By A Customer
This review is from: Forest Runners (Hardcover)
The two boys, Henry Ware, and Paul Cotter, set out to carry powder from one settlement to another. They are attacked by Indians, and Paul is captured and taken to an Indian village. One of the scouts disguises as an Indian and rescues Paul. The book ends with a great battle between the Indians and a wagon train of pioneers.

3.0 out of 5 stars Incompetent Publishing, November 15, 2009
By 
Gar Hart (The Big Apple) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Forest Runners (Paperback)
My rating of 3 stars (above) is a lie, since I never read the book. I never read
the book because it's printed without capitals, in densely packed type, and is
very difficult to read. I enjoyed Altsheler as a boy , and hoped to give
the book and other Altsheler adventures as a gift to a teen-ager. But
it would be unfair to foist this poor edition onto a youngster just beginning
his serious reading life. It's not e e cummings poetry; it's not great literature.
What on earth possessed Valde Books to eschew capitals?
Parsimony? Cost-cutting? Whatever, it cost them my order(s).

I have tried to inform Amazon three times that the reviews and links of this book to Visconti's book are in error.
