Excerpt
Very few of the soul-stirring narratives written by Gustave Aimard are equal in freshness and vigour to “The Missouri Outlaws,” hitherto unpublished in this country. The characters of the Squatter, the real, restless, unconquerable American, who is always going ahead, and of his wife and daughter, are admirably depicted, while his eccentric brother is a perfect gem of description. The great interest, however, of the narrative is centred in Tom Mitchell, the mysterious outlaw, whose fortunes excite the readers’ imagination to the utmost. There can be no doubt he is one of the most original characters depicted by the versatile pen of the great French novelist. In addition to being a story of adventure, “The Missouri Outlaws” is also a love tale, and abounds in tender pathos, the interest of which is well sustained in “The Prairie Flower” and in its sequel, “The Indian Scout.”
