But <em>Adventure</em> is my favorite, and I'm getting inspired by the posts on that blog to put up reviews of the issues I have.<br /><br />I'm reminded of the gaps in my collection more and more.

I thought it was outstanding and my notes say:<br /><br />"Takes place in 1755, dealing with the events leading up to Braddock's army massacre by the French and Indians. This again proved to the colonists that they could not depend upon the English troops from across the seas for protection. Thus they became even more self dependent and started to break away from Great Britain. ...full of fascinating details about indians and colonial life."<br /><br />THE NINE UNKNOWN by Mundy is also excellent and I read it in 1972. My notes mention that I thought it was extremely enjoyable and "whacky and crazy". I'll have to reread it and see why I thought this over 40 years ago.<br /><br />Speaking of Somerset Maugham in relation to the Newsom story, I love Maugham's work and I highly recommend the two volume edition of THE COMPLETE SHORT STORIES OF SOMERSET MAUGHAM. These are great adventure tales, especially the novellas. Walker Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16089880902426182100noreply@blogger.com
