Description
Review of The Moss Troopers (Hodder and Stoughton, 1912) extracted from mixed New Novels column. Praises Galloway historical setting (Napoleonic-era smuggling and resistance to recruitment) and acknowledges Crockett as no prentice hand, but judges the book not among his best — lacking vividness in certain character portraits and insufficient narrative grip. Mixed-content page. Reviewer initials C. G. C. unidentified. One character name read as Falz — may be misread; verify against novel text.
