MY SIATY YEARS ON THE PLAINS 
Sixty-three years ago “Bill’ Hamilton, then 
twenty years of age, set out from St. Louis, Mo., 
with seven other free trappers under the leader- 
ship of old “Bill” Williams. Seven of these 
eight men are dead, but Hamilton still lives in 
Montana and still sets his traps. He has written 
the story of his early trapping days, and the book 
has just been published. “My Sixty Years on the 
Plains” tells of trapping, trading, Indian fighting, 


hunting, and all the many and varied incidents of 
the trapper’s life. It is full of adventure and ex- 
citement, 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 of 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 of 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, Mont.
