Edited by Horace Kephart 



^ Here are brought together for the first time the great stories of 

 adventure of all ages end countries. These are the personal records 

 of the men who climbed the mountains and penetrated the jungles; 

 who explored the seas and crossed the deserts; who knew the 

 chances and took them, and lived to write their own tales of hard> 

 ship and endurance and achievement. The series will consist of 

 an indeterminate number of volumes — for the stories are myriad. 

 The whole will be edited by Horace Kephart. Each volume 

 answers the test of these two questions : Is it true ? Is it interesting? 

 ^ The entire series is uniform in style and binding. Among the 

 titles now ready or in preparation are those described on the fol 

 lowing pages.

1. IN THE OLD WEST, by George Frederick 



Ruxton. The men who blazed the trail across the Rockies to the 

 Pacific were the independent trappers and hunters in the days 

 before the Mexican war. They left no records of their adventures 

 and most of them linger now only as shadowy names. But a young 

 Englishman lived among them for a time, saw life from their point 

 of view, trapped with them and fought with them against the 

 Indians. That was George Frederick Ruxton. His story is our 

 only complete picture of the Old "West in the days of the real 

 Pioneers, of Kit Carson, Jim Bridger, Bill Williams, the Sublettes, 

 and all the rest of that glorious company of the forgotten who 

 opened the West.
