“It may be that the closeness of the author to the scenes of which she writes has marred the perspective. In any case, the present volume very largely fails both in color and adequacy.... By way of compensation, the concluding chapters exhibit a good deal of dramatic power. Indeed, we have seldom read a story more pitifully fascinating than that of the massacre at Wounded Knee, as told by the aged Short Bull in his tepee on the blizzard-swept prairie near Pine Ridge. It is worth knowing, for it is history.”

CODY, WILLIAM FREDERICK (BUFFALO BILL, pseud.). Autobiography of Buffalo Bill. il *$3 (3c) Cosmopolitan bk. corporation
20–7661
In this story of his life Colonel Cody touches upon his life as a showman only as the final rounding out of his career after the great wild west, of which he had been so integral a part, had become a thing of the past. But in its pages live again and go down to history the thrilling last days of Indian warfare, buffalo hunting and stage-coaching. The book is illustrated by N. C. Wyeth.
