Apart from the thrilling interest of Aimard's new story, which Iherewith offer to English readers, I think it will be accepted withgreater satisfaction, as being an historical record of the last greatcontest in which the North Americans were engaged. As at the presentmoment everything is eagerly devoured that may tend to throw light onthe impending struggle between North and South, I believe that the storyof "THE FREEBOOTERS," which is rigorously true in its details, willenable my readers to form a correct opinion of the character of theSoutherners.
The series, of which this volume forms a second link, will be completedin a third volume, to be called "THE WHITE SCALPER," which contains anelaborate account of the liberation of Texas, and the memorable battleof San Jacinto, together with personal adventures of the mostextraordinary character.
