ADVENTURES IN MEXICO, by George 

 Frederick Ruxton. This volume describes Ruxton's 

 second visit to America, but this time he landed at 

 Vera Cruz, from where he went to Mexico City and 

 thence north to the American border. Mexico was 

 then at war with the United States, bandits roamed over 

 the country right up to the gates of the capital, and 

 Indians infested the northern part. Still he made the 

 journey of 2,000 miles, often alone, experiencing many 

 exciting adventures. 



WILD LIFE IN THE ROCKY MOUN- 

 TAINS, by George Frederick Ruxton. A con- 

 tinuation of Ruxton's ADVENTURES IN MEXICO, 

 from Chihuahua north. In the course of his journey 

 he had to pass through treeless deserts, where he suf- 

 fered much from lack of water; spent the winter in the 

 Rocky Mountains and finally crossed the United States 

 boundary. 



*THE GOLD HUNTER, by J. D. Borth- 

 wick. He was an English artist who joined the rush

 from its days of the bowie-knife and top-boots to its 

 development into an orderly community, of life (and 

 death) in "the diggings" and of the motely gathering 

 of all nationalities in town and camp, their toil, sports, 

 virtues, crimes and shifting fortunes. The book covers 

 the period from 1851-1856.

 mer of 1874 with George Kingsley and Texas Jack.

 zlies, camp life at its best and worst, Indians and 

 frontiersmen, the joys of wild life and the pathos of it, 

 the crest of the continent and the vales of "Wonder- 

 land," all are depicted by the Earl of Dunraven.

 C. Cremony. He was interpreter of the United States
