CATHERWOOD, M. (H.).
The Heroes of the Middle West.
Ginn. .50

The French discovery and settlement of this country to the time of
Pontiac, and the coming of the English. A vivid, carefully drawn
picture of those adventurous days. Marquette, Joliet, La Salle, and

Holt. 3.00

A companion to The Young Folks' Cyclopaedia of Common Things, which

Macmillan. .40
