Mr. GrinnelTs Indian Books. 
BLACKFOOT AND PAWNEE. 
These, two volumes treating of two different tribes of Indians are full of fascination for 
lovers of outdoor life. Each contains a number of the stories current in the tribe to which 
it relates, and these are followed by a series of graphic pictures of the old wild life which is 
now only a memory. The stories deal with hunting, war, love, ghosts, magic and natural 
phenomena. They are given just as related by the old men who told them to the author, 
and show Indian life from the Indian point of view.
