1876. Another volume from Kellogg's The Forest Glen Series. The story contained in these pages is one of strong lights and dark shades; and it is thus in virtue of the stormy period during which the events narrated occurred, and because it presents a life-picture of the character and circumstances of men and women who deliberately entered upon a struggle in which life was at stake. The Black Rifle, whose feats were the subject of conversation at the settler's fireside, is no imaginary character, but moved a master spirit among the fierce fighters of those dark and bloody days.

Autorenporträt
Elijah Kellogg Jr. was an American Congregationalist preacher, lecturer, and author of popular boys' adventure novels. Kellogg was born in Portland, Maine, the son of a clergyman and missionary to the local Native Americans. In 1840, he graduated from Bowdoin College and the Andover Theological Seminary. Kellogg was a minister of the church in Harpswell, Maine, 1844-54, chaplain of the Boston Seaman's Friend Society, and pastor of the Mariners' Church of Boston 1855-1865, before retiring as minister of the church in Topsham, Maine, from 1871 until his death in 1901. Kellogg married Hannah Pearson Pomeroy, and they had three sons and a girl. Wilmot B. Mitchell of Bowdoin College edited Elijah Kellogg, the Man and His Work: Chapters from His Life and Selections from His Writings (Boston: Lee and Shepard, 1903). Bowdoin College provides an online collection guide to Kellogg's personal papers and those of his father (a trustee at Bowdoin). Elijah Kellogg Church, Congregational in Harpswell, Maine (where he previously served as pastor) is now named for him.
