Neihardt, John Gneisenau. [Lonesome trail.] †$1.50. Lane.
7–19597.
Twenty short stories which are concerned with the Indians of the Omaha and Ponca tribes, with French and Indian half-breeds, with gamblers and trappers and ranchmen and [various] types of the frontier.
“One or two of the stories, regarded from the point of view of art, pure and simple, are excellent specimens of their class. We should be reluctant to pass judgment on Mr. Neihardt on the strength of this collection of stories, and we are inclined to think that he will do better work when he has learnt restraint.”

“Despite their undeniable charm and the vivid manner in which they picture the life of the Indian and the half-breed trapper of the west, they leave a distinctly depressing effect on the mind.” Amy C. Rich.

“[The stories] have good workmanship in them; strength of incident and feeling, and no padding. The author has more feeling for style than usually falls to the man who knows the extreme limits of civilization.”
