“Taken as a whole, the work is a masterpiece of taste, of judgment, and of condensation, and should be in the library not only of every lover of art, but of every cultivated person.” George B. Zug.

Remington, Frederick. Way of an Indian. *$1.50. Fox.
“In the form of a story Mr. Remington has reproduced his popular pictures of Indian life. He has taken the period between the discovery of gold in California and the death of General Custer in the battle of the Little Big Horn, and has given us the life story of a Cheyenne boy with all the ambitions and aspirations of his race.... The story ranges from conflicts with rival tribes to massacres of immigrants, and, of course, in the last chapter civilization triumphs over savagery.” (Pub. Opin.) 15 pictures by the author illustrate the book.
“A remarkably realistic life-history of a typical Indian.”
+ Critic. 48: 478. My. ’06. 90w.
“As a story, is singularly strong, if crude and simple, and, as a study in primitive instincts, and an epitome of the struggle that attended the coming of the whites into the buffalo country, is a wonderfully effective piece of work.”

“Has told a very effective story of the tragic clash of the Indians of the Northwest with the resistless onward movement of the white man.”
