" Mr. Hough is to be thanked for having written so excellent a book. The cowboy 

 story, as this author has told it, will be the cowboy's fitting eulogy. This volume will 

 be consulted in years to come as an authority en past conditions of the far West. For 

 fine literary work the author is to be highly complimented. Here, certainly, we have a 

 choice piece of writing." — New York Times. 



The Story of the Mine. 



As illustrated by the Great Comstock Lode of Nevada. By 

 Charles Howard Shinn.

 true romance of the American mine." — New York Times. 



The Story of the Indian.

" Blackfoot Lodge Tales," etc. 



" 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.
