l to everyone who cares for trees, the forests or the open air. "Mr. White has the power to make you feel the woods as the masters of salt-water fiction make you feel the sea."--_The Boston Herald_. "Of the majesty of the falling forests the book is eloquent, and its place in the history of our literature is secure."--_The Chicago Nevis_. "He has realized to the full the titanic character of the struggle between man and nature in the forest, and has reproduced it in his pages with an enthusiasm and strength of insight worthy of his theme."--_The St. James Gazette_. _Eleven Editions in eleven months_ $1.50 McClure, Phillips & Co.
