Excerpt from Henry in the War: Or the Model Volunteer

The war with Spain, just finished, called out over 200, 000 more of volunteers. As Henry has lived through both the civil strife and this later foreign struggle, he is now a veteran indeed, and a fair representative of our citizen volunteers.

My young friends who are acquainted with "Donald" and had glimpses in "Donald's School-Days" of the younger of the two boys will, I trust, welcome a continuance of Henry's noticeable career.

My promise in my first volume to carry Henry through the Civil War and give a recital of actual campaigns and battles I have carefully borne in mind. In this new effort I have striven to present only the truth of history in all matters of importance, while cherishing a great hope of adding something to the attractions and inducements which make boys become manly, upright men.
