The Campaign of the Jungle is the fifth volume in the Old Glory series. While this interesting and exciting story is complete it itself so far as action and incident go, it continues the narrative of the three Russell brothers who have been met in the earlier volumes of the series, and presents vivid pictures of the experiences of American heroes under the brave and lamented General Lawton, in his Philippine-American war. While a book of stirring adventure, its moral tone is high and strong, as are all of the writings of this able author.
