1878. Illustrated. This is the final volume in Kellogg's The Forest Glen Series. In this concluding volume is presented their (the prominent persons in the series) last and bitterest trials, as also their hard-earned triumph, are recorded. As we track them by their blood along the brier-planted path they trod, our interest increases: we are often in doubt which most to admire, the dashing qualities of Harry and his comrades, the simple piety of Mrs. Sumerford, or the finely balanced character of Honeywood, keen of eye, lithe of limb, strong of arm, at home in danger, manifesting courage without ferocity, and neither intoxicated by success nor depressed by misfortune. Even the prejudices and vindictive passions of Holdness, McClure, and Israel Blanchard, are so mingled with nobler qualities and kindly sympathies, that while we contemplate their virtues we forget their faults. The melancholy history of Tony Stewart is one often repeated in frontier life, and evinces the weird influence exerted by savage life and companionship over young and plastic minds; while that of Sam Sumerford, his equal in age, pluck, and ardor of feeling, shows as clearly the formative power of home influence and family affection. The barefooted preacher, rifle in hand, and tomahawk in his belt, illustrates the superiority of gifts without culture, over culture without gifts.

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.
