"The Land of Footprints" 



A Record of Travel and Adventure in the Land 

 of the Last Frontier 



By Stewart Edward White 



" He has written a notable book . . . The account of some of his 

 adventures with lion and buffalo is thrilling, and moreover, it is so written as 

 to give a real and satisfactory idea of just what it was that happened, and 

 without either understatement or exaggeration, of what might have happened 

 if the powder had not been straight. Moreover his account of his gun-bearers, 

 of the natives they met, of the vast, strange, barren country through which 

 he traveled, and of the great beasts by which he was continually surrounded, 

 is all most interesting." — Theodore Roosevelt in The Outlook. 



"What he has tried to bring out in this book is the real Africa and the 

 dangers as well as the delights to the sportsman of big game hunting in the 

 last great preserve of wild animals in the world. In this attempt he has 

 scored a success, largely because of his literary ability and because he has 

 tried to tell the plain truth." — San Francisco Chronicle. 



" A really enthralling tale of experienced adventure in the style that 

 only the well known author of ' Arizona Nights ' and ' The Mystery ' can 

 command. We have Stanley's Darkest Africa, a doleful, dismal book. We 

 have Roosevelt's Africa, mostly Roosevelt. Mr. White now gives us the real 

 Africa." — Boston Transcript.

E. FERRIS 



Pete Crowther 

 says: 



"Now that's salesman- 

 ship — something inside a 

 man that gets the other 

 fellow's goat and makes 

 him want something he 

 thought he didn't want." 



"It's a big help in selling goods to feel 

 friendly toward people. Men always re- 

 spond to it if it's the real goods." 



From 



Pete Crowther: 

 Salesman 



By 



ELMER E. FERRIS 



The basis of Mr. Ferris's story is the 

 theory that one part each of business 

 common sense and fun, mingled with equal 

 parts of philosophy and sound ethics, will 

 make a successful commercial traveller. Pete 

 Crowther is such a man. He is a live typical 

 American, and in this book we are shown him 

 in action. 



There is pictufesqueness in Pete's exper- 

 iences and much information and inspiration 

 as well as the inevitable fun. The story is not 

 merely interesting and entertaining, but it has 

 the ring of experience which recommends it 

 for serious consideration to all readers. 



— Boston Eve. Transcript. 



T. R. says : "He (the author) teaches a real 

 moral lesson here and, what is more rare, he 

 does it in an amusing way. I can fairly see 

 that interview between the drummer and the 

 Chinaman as I write."
