THE POPULAR SCIENCE MONTHLY. 



An Apache Campaign in the Sierra Ma- 

 drk. By John G. Bourke. New York : 

 Charles Scribner's Sons. Pp. 112. Price, 

 $1. 



This is a spirited and very interesting 

 account of the expedition, under General 

 Crook, in pursuit of the hostile Chiricahua 

 Apaches in the spring of 1883. Its pur- 

 pose is simply to outline some of the diffi- 

 culties attending the solution of the In- 

 dian question in the Southwest, and to make 

 known the methods employed in conducting 

 campaigns against savages in hostility. 

 The author makes it understood that for 

 the better accomplishment of this object he 

 has submitted an unmutilated extract from 

 his journal kept during the whole period in- 

 volved. The record having been kept in a 

 style free from literary affectations, pre- 

 sents picturesquely the life of the cam- 

 paign. The illustrations, showing the cus- 

 toms and arts of the Apaches, add much to 

 the value of the book. 



John Cabot's Landfall in 1497 and the 

 site of Norumbega. By Eben Norton 

 Horsford. Cambridge : John Wilson 

 & Son. Pp. 39, with Maps. 



John Cabot, in 1497, came upon a spot 

 somewhere in New England which he called, 

 after the designation given by the Indians, 

 Norumbega. The French afterward built a 

 fort called Norumbega, on a river of the 

 same name. The site has since been lost, 

 but has usually been assigned to the banks 

 of the Penobscot, although for reasons not 

 judged sufficient. Mr. Horsford believes 

 that he has found both Norumbegas Ca- 

 bot's on Salem Neck, and the French fort and 

 town, on Charles River, between Riverside 

 and Waltham, Massachusetts, where he dis- 

 covered the remains of the fort. If the 

 first determination is correct, Cabot is 

 proved to have preceded Columbus in the 

 discovery of (continental) America.

This volume contains the usual official
