PIONEER LIFE SERIES 



THE WHITE INDIAN BOY 



OR UNCLE NICK AMONG THE SHOSHONES 



Everybody that knew Uncle Nick Wilson was always begging him 

 to tell about the pioneer days in the Northwest. When he was eight 

 years old the Wilson family crossed the plains by ox-team. He was 

 only twelve when he slipped away from home to travel north with 

 a band of Shoshones, with whom he wandered about for two years, 

 sharing all the experiences of Indian life. Later, after he had re- 

 turned home, he was a pony express rider, he drove a stage on the 

 Overland route, and he acted as guide in an expedition against the 

 Gosiute Indians. 



A few years ago Uncle Nick was persuaded to write down his recol- 

 lections, and Professor Howard N. Driggs helped him to make his 

 account into a book that is a true record of pioneer life, with its 

 hardships and adventures. 



The White Indian Boy is illustrated with many instructive photo- 

 graphs and with drawings of Indian life by F. N. Wilson. 



Copies of this book can be obtained from any bookseller. Discounts
