"Captain" Reid wrote many adventure novels akin to those written by Frederick Marryat and Robert Louis Stevenson. He was a great admirer of Lord Byron. These novels contain action that takes place primarily in untamed settings: the American West, Mexico, South Africa, the Himalayas, and Jamaica.

Reviews

[Paul Foley · Rating 3 out of 5]

A somewhat miscellaneous tale of derring-do, rambling from pirates in the Pacific to dastardly adventurers in the Old West.
