ON THE TRAIL OF THE SIOUX

The Adventures of Two Boy Scouts on the Minnesota Frontier

By D. LANGE

Illustrated 12mo Cloth Price, Net, $1.00 Postpaid, $1.10

[Illustration]

This story was written by a prominent educator to satisfy the insistent
demand of active boys for an "Indian Story," as well as to help them to
understand what even the young endured in the making of our country. The
story is based on the last desperate stand of the brave and warlike
Sioux tribes against the resistless tide of white men's civilization,
the thrilling scenes of which were enacted on the Minnesota frontier in

"It is a book which will appeal to young and old alike,
as the incidents are historically correct and related

"It seems like a strange, true story more than fiction.
It is well written and in good taste, and it can be
commended to all boy readers and to many of their
elders."--_Hartford Times._
