Frontispiece by Clara P. Wilson

In a breezy manner the story is told of a New York City man sending his
rheumatic son to Kansas for a six months' stay on the ranch of an old Yale
chum living in the Solomon Valley. The indignation and expectations of the
young man collapse in the face of the facts, and he falls in love with the
life of the Kansas farm--and with the farmer's daughter.

THE PRICE OF THE PRAIRIE

Illustrated in color by J. N. Marchand

In this book Mrs. McCarter made her fame secure. It is a great picture of
a thrilling time, and a series of events of historic significance. Its
pages are redolent of the sweet air and wide landscapes; the pictures come
and go of idyllic childhood, of growing love, of Indian danger, of
jealousy, of massacre, and of the movement toward the settled life of the
plains. It is a poignant and winning record of the price paid for the
prairie home.
