_THE WIGWAM AND THE WAR-PATH:_
Stories of the Red Indians. By ASCOTT R. HOPE. With 8 full-page Pictures by GORDON BROWNE, in black and tint. Crown 8vo, cloth elegant, $1.50.
The interest taken by boys in stories of the North American Indians isprobably as keen as ever. At all events the works of Fenimore Cooper andother writers about the red men and the wild hunters of the forests andprairies are still among the most popular of boys' books. "The Wigwamand the War-path" consists of stories of Red Indians which are none theless romantic for being true. They are taken from the actual records ofthose who have been made prisoners by the red men or have lived amongthem, joining in their expeditions and taking part in their semi-savagebut often picturesque and adventurous life.
"Mr. Hope's volume is notably good: it gives a very vivid picture of life among the Indians."--_Spectator._
"So far, nothing can be better than Mr. Ascott Hope's choice of _The Wigwam and the War-path_ as the name of a collection of all the most scalping stories, so to speak, of the North American Indians we have ever heard."--_Saturday Review._
