uare 16mo. Cloth, black and gold. Price, $1.50 "Lieutenant-Colonel Butler's books, 'The Great Lone Land' and 'The Wild North Land,' have had thousands of charmed readers, the large majority of whom will follow him with delight in 'The Red Cloud, the Solitary Sioux, a Story of the Great Prairie,' in which he gives us a most interesting _resume_ of the dangers, delights, fascinations and fears of life in the hunting-grounds of the North-west. Of course there is much of fiction in the story, and in this respect we have a work as charming as any of Cooper's; but the adventures are such as might happen to any brave and energetic hunter. They afford us a most excellent example of what life in the prairies may be, surrounded by Indians, in the chase for the deer and the buffalo, and they contain so many examples of exciting adventure, of daring, of Indian craft, that all who are fond of that kind of life will find the 'Red Cloud' one of the most agreeable of companions. Col. Butler tells of adventure with much skill. He readily conveys to his readers a realistic sense of what he describes, and he writes in an easy and pleasing tone."--_St. John's Globe._ * * * Our publications are for sale by all booksellers, or will be sent post-paid on receipt of advertised price.
