No better books were ever written for boys—real 
boys. A young New York lad is sent to the far west 
for his health, falls in with an old frontiersman, and 
under his guidance learns the lore of the plains, the 
woods and the mountains. Each summer he returns 
for new experiences and adventures of the kind that 
boys love to read of. 
There is no preaching in these books, but they are 
just the kind of clean, healthy outdoor books that 
parents want to put in the hands of young boys, and 
that satisfy and delight the boys as well. 
WHAT AN OLD TIMER SAYS 
Byron, Ill., Jan. 30, 1909. —Editor Forest and Stream: 
I wonder if you know what treasures you have in Mr. 
Grinnell’s “Jack Books”? Often the people who are 
closest to a thing fail to see all its beauties. 
To me these books are like a light at night to any wild 
creature. They continue to attract me, and I have read 
them again and again, for they bring back the past in a 
wonderful way to the men who have traveled the high 
plains, and scaled the mountains which tower bold and 
blue above them. 
Did it ever occur to you that it is a little strange that 
an old fellow like Hugh Johnson should give the best 
extant description of the old parks of Colorado? I cotton 
to that Hugh Johnson. I enjoy all that he tells us and 
especially his Indian beaver lore. Indeed, I am fascinated 
by the whole of the big book—for that is what it is—a 
big book about old times written in six parts; not only 
a big book of surprising and surpassing truth and value, 
but in vivid interest the bulliest of all bully books that 
treat or ever did treat of the high plains and the moun¬ 
tains, and their wild inhabitants, two-legged and four¬ 
legged, white and red. 
From these books the younger generation will learn 
much of what even the fathers of most of them hardly 
knew. A. J. Woodcock.

BIRD, JONES <a KENYON, 3 Blandina Street, Utica. N. Y. 
My Life As An Indian 
All That the Title Implies and More 
Probably the most faithful picture of Indian 
life ever drawn from the pen of a man who 
spent years among' the Blackfeet, marrying into 
the tribe and becoming to all practical intents an 
Indian. 
Mr. Schultz tells of the life of the plains In¬ 
dian, when war and hunting were the occupa¬ 
tions of every man, when the buffalo still cov¬ 
ered the prairie, and the Indian was as yet little 
touched by contact with civilization. He de¬ 
scribes as one who has lived the life, the daily 
routine of the great camp, the lives of the men 
and women, the gambling, the quarreling, the 
love making, the wars, the trading of the In¬ 
dians. 
The narrative is full of intense human interest, 
and the requisite touch of romance is supplied 
in the character of Nat-ah-ki, the beautiful In¬ 
dian girl, who became the author’s wife.

By E. W. Burt. Cloth. Illustrated. 221 pages. Price, $1.25. 
Mr. E. W. Burt’s happily entitled book has enjoyed a 
wide popularity, especially in New England. It has been 
for some time out of print, but the many calls for it have 
led to the issuing of a new edition, which is largely 
re-written. 
The volume treats of a multitude of matters of in¬ 
terest to the camper, who, unless he is made comfortable 
by the exercise of a little expert knowledge and thought¬ 
fulness, may find himself when in camp the most miser¬ 
able of mortals. A man who has had experience, makes 
himself a? comfortable in camp as at home, while the 
free and independent fife, the exercise that he is con¬ 
stantly taking, the fresh air in which he works, eats and 
sleeps, combine to render his physical condition so per¬ 
fect that every hour of every day is likely. to be a joy. 
“Camp-Fires of the Wilderness” is written for those 
persons who wish to go into camp, yet are without ex¬ 
perience of travel, chiefly by canoe and on foot, through 
various sections of the country, and it may be read with 
profit by every one who enjoys camping.
