Cloth over Boards. Condizione: Good. Condizione sovraccoperta: No Dust Jacket. J. Watson Davis (illustratore). This book, "With the Swamp Fox," is a juvenile historical fiction novel that delves into the American Revolution through the eyes of young spies serving under General Francis Marion. The narrative follows the adventures of young Robert Sumter and his twin brother as they act as scouts for Marion's band of patriots in South Carolina, often encountering a rival Tory boy. The story highlights General Marion's character as an upright and brave patriot, known for his guerrilla tactics and ability to elude British forces, earning him the nickname "Swamp Fox." --- The author, James Otis, is a pseudonym for James Otis Kaler (1848-1912), an American journalist and prolific writer of over 150 children's books, many of which were adventure and patriotic biographies intended for young readers and classroom use. Kaler began his career as a reporter, covering Civil War battles at the age of 16. His most famous work is "Toby Tyler: Or, Ten Weeks with a Circus," published in 1881. Otis's stories often emphasized patriotism and moral ideals, featuring protagonists who sought a simple, honest life. --- The book's historical significance lies in its portrayal of General Francis Marion, a notable military figure during the American Revolution, particularly for his innovative use of guerrilla warfare against the British in the South Carolina lowlands. Marion's tactics, which involved emerging from and disappearing into the swamps, frustrated British attempts to control the South and contributed significantly to the Patriot cause. The book is illustrated by J. Watson Davis (1870-1959), an American illustrator who had a prolific career spanning six decades, contributing to various books and magazines, including Sherlock Holmes tales and Zane Grey novels. Collectors of historical children's literature, particularly those interested in the American Revolution or the works of James Otis Kaler, would find this book interesting due to its engaging narrative, its focus on a significant historical figure, and the notable illustrator.--- CONDITION: Overall condition is Good.
