A Notable Volume of Travel and Adventure 



On the South African Frontier 



The Adventures and Observations of an American in Rhodesia 



By WILLIAM HARVEY BROWN 



With 32 illustrations and 2 folding maps. Octavo, $3.00 



iiCVERY word in Mr. Brown's 'On the South African Frontier' is the 

 •L' simple, straightforward word of a frontiersman who has a tale to tell, 

 and tells it without too much varnish. 'Tis an active, courageous American 

 boy, who has gone out into God's wilderness to try his fortune. He should 

 have a hearing. As a mere narrative of stirring adventures, the book can be 

 recommended to the general reader; but it is of especial value just now on 

 account of the interesting side-light it throws upon the British method of 

 governing savages. " — Literature.

GOVERNOR ROOSEVELT'S account of the Rough Riders is naturally awaited with in- 

 tense eagerness from one end of the country to the other. His book has already claimed 

 everybody's attention as in all respects a national event. The distinguished author was, 

 with Colonel YVood, the organizer and commander of the Rough Riders, and he tells in his book 

 the picturesque story from the inception of the original idea to the mustering out of the justly

 and intensely vivid, of a unique fighting corps. The illustrations, from photographs by experts, 

 are especially noteworthy. 



The Most Original Book of the Year 



WILD ANIMALS I HAVE KNOWN 



By ERNEST 5ET0N THOMPSON 



With 200 Illustrations from drawings by the Author. Seventh Thousand. 



Square i2mo. $2.00. 



" There is nothing in modern story-telling which equals the tale of the capture of the 

 pacing mustang. ... In depicting animal life and character, Mr. Thompson has probably no 

 peer in this country, and this delightful volume shows us that his pen is as mighty as his mar- 

 velous brush.'' — New York Mail and Express. 



" The originality and freshness of these stories is irresistible. ... In everything he does, 

 Mr. Thompson has a way peculiarly his own. . . . Even if naked and unadorned, the facts he 

 tells us would be very interesting ; but when we have the facts and the factors fairly dancing 

 before us, clothed in all the quaint quips and droll persiflage of an accomplished humorist and 

 born story-teller, they are — as I have said— irresistible."— W. T. Hornaday, in Recreation.
