OPINIONS OF THE PRESS ; 



It is the first, so far as we know, of a class of 

 books of which the need is felt in every depart- 

 ment of natural history.— Troy Press. 



To all dwellers by the water and in the country 

 and especially all who shoot, the book will supply 

 a great need, and every one who is interested in 

 birds will be interested in it.— Boston Evening 

 Traveller. 



The book should find its way to a choice place 

 in every sportsman's library.— Chicago Inter- 

 Ocean. 



There is a delightful dearth of dead languages 

 in this book. The sportsman who looks between 

 the covers for a description of some game bird— 

 a description which will enable him to identify 

 the creature should he meet it in the woods or on 

 the water— is not compelled to shut the book, 

 drop a bad word or two upon it and go in search 

 of some Greek and Latin dictionaries to find out 

 what the description means.— New York Herald.

Pawnee customs and beliefs are richly illustrated by the folk-tales 

 and in the copious notes Mr. Grinnell gives an uncommonly spirited ae; 

 count of Pawnee life in peace and in war. There is an account of th: 

 defense of a Pawnee village by 200 sick men, cripples, old men an<; 

 squaws, against 600 Sioux warriors, which for sheer gallantry and in] 

 dooiitable pluck will match almost anything in military history. TW 

 Pawnee warriors were all away at the time, and the Sioux counted upoB 

 an easy victory. But the Pawnee cripples and women actually beat then; 

 off after a hard day's fighting, and at last so terrorized them that th: 

 bold assailants fled in panic and sustained a heavy loss. Mr. Grinned 

 also has written a picturesque and vivacious sketch of one of the las< 

 Pawnee buffalo hunts, in which the Indians commonly reverted to prim 

 itive weapons and usages, often hunting quite naked with no other armi 

 than their bo vs and arrows. A particularly interesting part of the booi 

 is that which treats of the Pawnee doctors or medicine men. The state 

 ments of Mr. Grinnell show the possession by some of these men of i 

 kind of skill ir sleight-of-hand far beyond that usually attributed to In 

 dians; some of the facts here described are as puzzling and unaccount 

 able as those performed by the famous jugglers and fakirs of Hindostan, while one of thei 

 tricks is a close parellel to the East Indian mango ieat. . . . Those who desire to lean 

 of the many other wonders done by the Indian doctors must refer to its pases for themselves 

 As it is certainly one of the best works on Indian life, legend and character that has beej 

 written for a long time, it should obtain a wide circulation. — N. Y. Tribune.
