Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Under the Allied Flags: A Boy´s Adventures in the International War Against the Boxers and China In pursuance of a desire to present to young people a series of adventures against a background of recent historical happenings the author of this book follows his "In Defence of the Flag" and "With Lawton and Roberts" with a tale of the war in China, thus making a series of adventure stories that deal in due succession with the war with Spain, the revolt in the Philippines, the conflict in the Transvaal, and the siege and relief of the legations at Pekin. As in the preceding stories, "Under the Allied Flags" does not seek to go into the discussion of world problems and international rights; the author has endeavored simply to tell a story of danger and adventure, introducing to the readers of the companion stories, some familiar friends, and showing how pluck and heedlessness, valor and carelessness may lead a healthy and well-meaning American lad into scrapes and experiences that only a boy could blunder into and out of.
