HAW-HO-NOO:
OR, THE RECORDS OF A TOURIST.
BY CHARLES LANMAN,
Author of "A Summer in the Wilderness," &c. In one volume, 12mo.
"In the present book, '_Haw-ho-noo_,' (an Indian name, by the way, for
America,) the author has gathered up some of the relics of his former
tours, and added to them other interesting matter. It contains a number of
carefully written and instructive articles upon the various kinds of fish
in our country, whose capture affords sport for anglers; reminiscences of
unique incidents, manners, and customs in different parts of the country;
and other articles, narrative, descriptive, and sentimental. In a
supplement are gathered many curious Indian legends. They are related with
great simplicity and clearness, and will be of service hereafter to the
poem makers of America. Many of them are quite beautiful."--_National
Intelligencer_.

LONZ POWERS; Or, The Regulators.
A ROMANCE OF KENTUCKY.
FOUNDED ON FACTS.
BY JAMES WEIR, ESQ.
IN TWO VOLUMES.
The scenes, characters, and incidents in these volumes have been copied
from nature, and from real life. They are represented as taking place at
that period in the history of Kentucky, when the Indian, driven, after many
a hard-fought field, from his favourite hunting-ground, was succeeded by a
rude and unlettered population, interspersed with organized bands of
desperadoes, scarcely less savage than the red men they had displaced. The
author possesses a vigorous and graphic pen, and has produced a very
interesting romance, which gives us a striking portrait of the times he
describes.
