Action Aimard, Gustave: The Smuggler Chief. v1. 22 Feb 2015

[crutledge]

Gustave Aimard (13 September 1818[1] – 20 June 1883) was the author of numerous books about Latin America.

Excerpt
The present is the most powerful story which Gustave Aimard has yet written. While there is enough of startling incident and hairbreadth escapes to satisfy the greatest craver after sensation, the plot is carefully elaborated, and great attention is paid to developing the character of the heroines. If there has been any fault in the author’s previous works, it is that the ladies introduced are too subordinate; but in the present tale, the primary interest hinges upon them, and they are the most prominent characters. For this reason I am inclined to believe that the “Smuggler Chief” will become a greater favourite with readers than any of its predecessors.
