MY SIXTY YEARS ON 
THE PLAINS 
True Pictures of a Vanished Life 
“BILL" HAMILTON 
Appropriately enough W. T. Hamilton, the 
last survivor of the old race of free trappers, 
became the author of one of the best pen pic¬ 
tures of the old life of the plains and moun¬ 
tains ever written. 
No work of fiction offers more adventure, 
more thrills of desperate bravery, heroic en¬ 
durance and hair breadth escape than this un¬ 
adorned narrative of the life of the old trap¬ 
per and plainsman, the companion of Bill 
Williams, Jim Baker, Carson, Bridges and the 
rest whose names are household words. 
“Sixty Years on the Plains” is all that the 
name signifies and more. It depicts every phase 
of frontier life, hunting, trapping, Indian fight¬ 
ing, the beginnings of Empire building. From 
the store house of sixty years of wonderfully 
full exprience, Mr. Hamilton drew the material 
for a book of splendid interest and real value.

THE ANGLER’S WORKSHOP 
Rodmaking for Beginners 
By PERRY D. FRAZER 
A UNIQUE work, bringing the science of rodmaking up to the very moment and 
epitomizing the knowledge and experience of experts for the guidance of the 
average man. The evolution of bait-casting principles has made Mr. Frazer’s 
book supersede all previous publications on the subject. 
Every angler—young or old-who is fond of adapting his rods and tackle to his own 
ideas of what they should be, will find in this book a large fund of information gathered 
y the author in years of study, experiment and practical experience in fishing tourna- 
ment casting and at the work bench. He theorizes and speculates not at all ’He tells 
the how of everything connected with rodmaking in a way that makes results certain. 
All explanations are simple and easily followed. 
Separate chapters are devoted to each of a half dozen types of bait-casting rods- to 
tarpon, surf and light salt water rods; bass and trout, salmon and tournament fly-rods. 
Complete specifications of well-known types are given, and the chapter on split bamboo 
rodmaking is the most comprehensive treatise on the subject ever published. Indis¬ 
pensable in the angler’s library. 
Cloth, 180 pages, four full-page illustrations, 6o working drawings, making plain 
every feature of the text. Postpaid, $r.oo.
