| These historical novels follow the
adventures of Roger Morse and other fictional young men as they participate
in the American Revolutionary War. The characters exhibit all of the
standard turn-of-the-century boys' book list of virtues; their love of their
mothers is matched only by their love of their fledgling country, and they
are just chock-full of honor, manliness, physical courage, thrift, sense of
duty, etc. The stories are good, and faithfully track actual historical
events, but the modern adult reader may feel the need to get ripping drunk
and download some internet pornography just to counteract the effects of an
overdose of conscious virtue. |
