Ny Life As Ai\ 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 
Indians. 
The narrative is full of intense human in¬ 
terest, and the requisite touch of romance is 
supplied in the character of Nat-ah-ki, the beau¬ 
tiful Indian girl, who became the aufl»«r’s wife.

SIX BOOKS 
FOR BOYS 
and for boys who are grown 
up—but who would like to 
live their outdoor days again 
Jack The Young Ranchman 
Jack Among The Indians 
Jack The Young Trapper 
Jack The Young Canoeman 
Jack In The Rockies 
Jack The Young Explorer

$1.25 Per Volume 
Postpaid, $7.50 The Set 
No better books were ever written for boys—real 
boys. A young New York lad is sent to the far west 
for his hea’tb, 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. 
w h;a t 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 heaver 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.
