The Story of the Railroad. 



By Cy Warman, author of *'The Express Messenger," etc. 

 With Maps and many Illustrations by B. West Clinedinst and 

 from photographs. 



" As we understand it, the editor's ruling idea in this series has not been 

 to present chronology or statistics or set essays on the social and political de- 

 velopment of the great West, but to give to us vivid pictures of the hfe and the 

 times in the period of great development, and to let us see the men at their 

 work, their characters, and their motives. The choice of an author has been 

 fortunate. In Mr. Warman's book we are kept constantly reminded of the 

 fortitude, the suffering, the enterprise, and the endurance of the pioneers." — 

 The Railroad Gazette. 



The Story of the Cowboy. 



By E. Hough, author of "The Singing Mouse Stories," etc. 

 Illustrated by William L. Wells and C. M. Russell. 



*' 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 on 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." — Ne%u 

 York Times. 



The Story of the Mine. 



As illustrated by the Great Comstock Lode of Nevada. By 

 Charles Howard Shinn. 



"The author has written a book not alone full ■^f information, but replete 

 with the true romance of the American mine." — Nciu York Times. 



The Story of the Indian. 



By George Bird Grinnell, author of " Pawnee Hero Stories," 

 " Blackfoot Lodge Tales," etc. 



"Only an author qualified by personal experience could olter 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 measur- 

 ably to comprehend their thoughts and enter into their feelings. Such asso- 

 ciation has been Mr. Grinnell's," — Neiu York Sun.
