nd peril, requiring journeys by dog-team in the
frozen North and by launch in the alligator-filled Everglades of
Florida, while the enumerator whose work lies among the dangerous
criminal classes of the greater cities must take his life in his own
hands.
"Every young man should read this story from cover to cover,
thereby getting a clear conception of conditions as they exist
to-day, for such knowledge will have a clean, invigorating and
healthy influence on the young growing and thinking mind."--_Boston
Globe_.
THE BOY WITH THE U. S. FISHERIES
[Illustration: Cover of _The Boy with the U. S. Fisheries_]
With a bright, active American youth as a hero, is told the story of the
Fisheries, which in their actual importance dwarf every other human
industry. The book does not lack thrilling scenes. The far Aleutian
Islands have witnessed more desperate sea-fighting than has occurred
elsewhere since the days of the Spanish buccaneers, and pirate craft,
which the U. S. Fisheries must watch, rifle in hand, are prowling in the
Behring Sea to-day. The fish-farms of the United States are as
interesting as they are immense in their scope.
"One of the best books for boys of all ages, so attractively written
and illustrated as to fascinate the reader into staying up until all
hours to finish it."--_Philadelphia Despatch_.
THE BOY WITH THE U. S. INDIANS
[Illustration: Cover of _The Boy with the U. S. Indians_]
This book tells all about the Indian as he really was and is; the
Menominee in his birch-bark canoe; the Iroquois in his wigwam in the
forest; the Sioux of the plains upon his war-pony; the Apache, cruel and
unyielding as his arid desert; the Pueblo Indians, with remains of
ancient Spanish civilization lurking in the fastnesses of their massed
communal dwellings; the Tlingit of the Pacific Coast, with his
totem-poles. With a typical bright American youth as a central figure, a
good idea of a great field of national activity is given, and made
thrilling in its human side by the heroism demanded by the little-known
adventures of those who do the work of "Uncle Sam."
"An exceedingly interesting Indian story, because it is true, and
not merely a dramatic and picturesque incident of Indian life."--_N.
Y. Times_.
"It tells the Indian's story in a way that will fascinate the
youngster."--_Rochester Herald_.
