THE STORY OF THE WEST SERIES. 

 Edited by Bipley Hitchcock. 



" There is a vast extent of territory lying between the Missouri River and the Pacific 

 coast which has barely been skimmed over so far. That the conditions of life therein 

 are undergoing changes little short of marvelous will be understood when one recalls 

 the fact that the first white male child born in Kansas is still living there ; and Kansas 

 is by no means one of the newer States. Revolutionary indeed has been the upturning 

 of the old condition of affairs, and little remains thereof, and less will remain as each 

 year goes by, until presently there will be only tradition of the Sioux and Comanches, 

 the cowboy life, the wild horse, and the antelope. Histories, many of them, have been 

 written about the Western country alluded to, but most if not practically all by outsiders 

 who knew not personally that life of kaleidoscopic allurement. But ere it shall have 

 vanished forever we are likely to have truthful, complete, and charming portrayals oi 

 it produced by men who actually knew the life and have the power to describe it." 

 Henry Edward Rood, in the Mail and Express.

NOW READY. 



HE STORY OF THE INDIAN. By GEORGE 



BIRD GRINNELL, author of " Pawnee Hero Stories," " Black- 

 foot Lodge Tales," etc. I2mo. Cloth, $1.50. 



" In every way worthy of an author who, as an authority upon the Western Indians, 

 is second to none. A book full cf color, abounding in observation, and remarkable in 

 sustained interest, it is at the same time characterized by a grace of style which is rarely 

 to be looked for in such a work, and which adds not a little to the charm of it."- 

 London Daily Chronicle. 



"Only an author qualified by personal experience could offer us a profitable study 

 of a race so alien from our own as is the Indian in thought, feeling, and culture. Only 

 long association with Indians can enable a white man measurably to comprehend their 

 thoughts and enter into their feelings. Such association has been Mr. Grinnell's." 

 New York Sun.
