SIXTY-THREE years ago 
“ Bill” Hamilton, then 20 years of age, set out from St. Louis, 
Mo., with seven other free trappers under the leadership of old 
Bill Williams. Seven of these eight men are dead, but Hamilton 
still lives out in Montana and still sets his traps. He has written 
the story of his early trapping days and the book has been 
published. It is called 
MY SIXTY YEARS ON 
THE PLAINS 
By W. T. HAMILTON 
It tells of trapping, trading, Indian fighting, hunting, and all 
the many and varied incidents of the trapper’s life. It is full ot 
adventure and excitement, but the story is told modestly, and 
there is nothing in it that is lurid. Amid much fighting, there is 
nothing that can be called “blood and thunder,” but there is 
much that is history. 
The book has all the charm of the old volumes telling ot early 
travel in the West; books which were simple and direct, and in 
which there was no striving for effect. 
It is illustrated by a portrait of the author and one ot the 
celebrated Chief Washaki, and by six drawings of old-time 
trapper and Indian life, by Mr. Charles M. Russell, the celebrated 
cowboy artist of Great Falls, Montana.
