Brady, Cyrus Townsend. Indian fights and fighters. [**]$1.30. McClure.
“The material for this book has been secured from various documents, and from officers and men who were in the engagements. It is divided into two parts: Protecting the Frontier, and the War with the Sioux. An account of Custer’s defeat is given in the appendix. It is an addition to the ‘American fights and fighters’ series.” (Bookm.) “Mr. Brady seems a bit hampered as a story teller in many of the chapters by the wealth of facts he has to deal with and cling to, but is at his best in the description of the battle of the Wichita, where Custer led his troops against the Cheyennes under the leadership of Black Kettle.” (N. Y. Times).

“The book, like its three predecessors, is fairly authentic history, and every endeavor has been made to set down the facts without fear or favor.”

[*] Brady, Cyrus Townsend. My lady’s slipper. [**]$1.50. Dodd.
“Francis Burnham, an American midshipman, finds himself in the power of the villainous Marquis du Tremigon, and is forced to assume a disguise and enter the apartments of the beautiful Comtesse de Villars to steal a token for the Marquis—a slipper worn by her, if possible, ... and because he refuses to do the Marquis’s bidding there are dark days in prison and other dangers in store for him. But the slipper is a talisman of good fortune, and ... the Comtesse is made happy for life, and so is Burnham. The book is in a pretty binding of blue and gold, the illustrations are gracefully designed by Charlotte Weber Ditzler.”—N. Y. Times.
