A SNAPSHOT OF EACH VOLUME 
“The Claim Jumpers” “Arizona Nights” 
He had been pampered and petted since his 
birth. Sick at heart of the life he was leading, 
he went into the West, to manage a mining 
camp. 
One day he met her. She was the daughter 
of a low boozer and a woman of no account. 
But for her he forgot his work; for her he near- 
ly lost the mines to a gang of claim jumpers; 
for her he nearly dragged his manhood to 
depths' of disgrace. 
“The Land of Footprints” 
Of all the books on Africa, this is the most 
delightful. It sweeps aside the staple African 
story which concerns itself only with rhinos, 
lions, and native guides, and discovers a new 
.\frica, simply by finding the real one. Home- 
life which one does not associate with Africa, 
is told of interestingly. 
“The Blazed Trail” 
With nothing to his name but the clothes he 
wore, three dollars in his pocket and heart of 
oak, he plunged into the timberland of the 
lower Peninsula. The world had been bitter 
and he wanted to forget. 
The fight began. It was his big fight against 
nature, himself, and the other men. 
“The Silent Places” 
In a canoe he paddled away into the wilder- 
ness from the Hudson Bay post. He had his 
orders to bring back a renegade Indian to jus- 
tice. Painfully, slowly, on and on he puied 
his way along the Trail, yith its grim terrors 
of the North and giant vis'tas of snow country. 
“Camp and Trail” 
Here is a book for the wilderness traveler — 
for the camper and the tramper. It is a woods- 
man’s manual. It gives you all of the practical 
information you should have before starting 
for the woods, streams or lakes on your vaca- 
tion. White tells you from his lifelong experi- 
ence about common sense in the wilderness, 
what to wear and take with you. the camp out- 
fit, the cook outfit, what to eat and how to cook 
it. what to carry on a horse and how to pack 
it, how to select a canoe; and other things you 
must know when you go into the real woods. 
A book of' Western yarns and character por- 
trayals, that flash by the reader as though 
“caught in the films.’’ Mr. White gives a view 
of life on .\rizona cattle-ranches which is in- 
stinct with vitality and love of that out-of-door 
existence which he knows 'so well. 
“The Rules of the Game” 
Bobby Orde was a vigorous football type of 
fellow who had made a sad failure of office 
routine. So he went into the California Si- 
erras with their great forests and wonderful 
natural resources, and there he found his niche 
in managing men. 
“The Riverman” 
This is a stirring and virile successor to “The 
Blazed-Trail.” Jack Orde was a river-boss and 
was making good. Life to him was a wonderful 
adventure. It was full of the big outdoors; of 
smashing timber; lo’gs that boomed down the 
river; of sleeping and tramping in the cool, pine- 
scented air. 
“Blazed Trail Stories” 
Of the younger American writers, few de- 
serve so well the recognition extended to them 
as Stewart Edward White. There is a strong, 
clean virility about him that seems to go ■well 
with the atmosphere of his chosen scenes — the 
tonic breath of northern forests, the fragrance 
of balsam, the wide freedom of limitless avenues 
of trees, of unbroken expanses of snow. In 
some respects, Mr. White’s short stories are 
more enjoyable than even his longer books. To 
be sure one gets in them ratherless of nature 
and woodcraft; but on the other hand, one 
gets a greater number of vivid, rapid portraits 
of the sort of men who live their lives close to 
nature. 
“The Westerners” 
As a baby she traveled across the prairies to 
the foothills of the Rockies, where under the 
care of Jim Buckley her parents made camp in 
the sacred groves of the Indians. Blood was 
flowing. Settlers everywhere were in danger. 
Custer was attacked and wiped out. 
One day there came among the Indians a 
half breed who had a debt to settle with Jim 
Buckley — a debt of spite. It was soon over. 
Her father and mother were killed, and she 
kidnapped and taken far to the south. 
Don’t fail to take advantage of this truly remarkable offer. The books ■will 
be supplied while they last at $5.00 per set. If the supply is exhausted when 
your order is received money will be returned, otherwise the books will be 
shipped to you express charges collect.
