First Across the Continent

A concise story of the Lewis and Clark Expedition

By Noah Brooks

Illustrated. $1.50 net

“For any one who has an interest in travel, in adventure, and in the hardihood of the pioneer this is a great story.”—Baltimore Herald.

“Probably no incident in the Winning of the West exceeds or even equals in romantic interest that pioneer journey across the continent by Lewis and Clark.”—The Churchman.

“It is concise, comprehensive, and readable, and will be useful to young and old alike. The book is illustrated by reproductions of drawings from Catlin, Schoolcraft, and other early observers. Ernest Thompson Seton contributes four animal drawings.”—St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

“More readable than a romance, full of hair-breadth escapes and imminent perils from savage man and beast, by storm and flood, by sickness and cold and starvation.”—Chicago Post.

The Story of Rustem

And Other Persian Hero Tales from Firdusi

By Elizabeth D. Renninger

Illustrated by J. L. S. Williams

$1.50 net

The great hero stories of Persia retold from the Shah Naameh and beautifully illustrated. What Homer was to Greece and Virgil to Rome, Firdusi was to Persia, and there are no more thrilling stories of fighting and adventure than those of Rustem, the champion of the Heroic Age of Persia, quite different as they are from the tales of every other nation. Rustem was as brave and chivalrous as any of King Arthur’s knights and had just as many adventures and trials, and the story of his heroism and knightly courtesy, coupled with all the mysticism and splendor of the East, make this book a fascinating one. The book has a striking cover of Persian design.

Transcriber’s Note

The punctuation of the index, especially the use of semi-colons and commas, seemed inconsistent, and has been regularized to use commas to separate page references.

Spelling, in quotations from original documents, has been left as printed, due to the idiosyncratic nature of the orthography of the various times. Occasionally, odd (to the modern eye) phrases are seemingly misquoted. Our 'as soon as' is most frequently spelled, in Hakluyt, 'assoone as', and where another variant (e.g., 'assoonas' on p. 319) appears, the typical spelling is provided.

Errors deemed most likely to be the printer’s have been corrected, and are noted here. The references are to the page and line in the original.
