"His stories had the merit of being thoroughly healthy in tone" - what is meant by this and can such an assertion possibly be NPOV? Mutt Lunker ( talk) 23:11, 5 April 2009 (UTC)
This is unverifiable, particularly as reprints of other Ballantyne novels such as "Martin Rattler" are still being sold. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 103.19.11.28 ( talk) 08:54, 12 September 2014 (UTC)
