THE STORY OF THE INDIAN. By George Bird Grinnell, author of "Pawnee Hero Stories," "Blackfoot Lodge Tales," etc. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
"In every way worthy of an author who, as an authority upon the Western Indians, is second to none. A book full of color, abounding in observation, and remarkable in sustained interest, it is at the same time characterized by a grace of style which is rarely to be looked for in such a work, and which adds not a little to the charm of it"—London Daily Chronicle.
"Only an author qualified by personal experience could offer us a profitable study of a race so alien from our own as is the Indian in thought, feeling, and culture. Only long association with Indians can enable a white man measurably to comprehend their thoughts and enter into their feelings. Such association has been Mr. Grinnell's."—New York Sun.
THE STORY OF THE MINE. By Charles Howard Shinn. Illustrated. 12mo. Cloth, $1.50.
The figures of the prospector and the miner are clearly outlined in the course of the romantic story of that mine which more than any other embodies the romance, the vicissitudes, the triumphs, the excitement, and the science of mining life—the Great Comstock Lode. From the prospector, through development and deep-mining, to the last of the stock gambling, the story is told in a way that presents a singularly vivid and engrossing picture of a life which has played so large a part in the development of the remoter West.
