"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._
