First U. K. edition. 8vo. Brown cloth, titles stamped in gold gilt on the spine, ix [blank], 447 [1] pp., preface. The U. K. edition has one more chapter than the U. S. edition. Captured by Indians when just a youngster the author tells of his experiences among the Indians when at age 19 or 20 he left them. Wagner-Camp 24 says "His account of life among the Kansas and Osage Indians and his experiences on the prairies sound entirely credible." A very good, clean, tight, square copy.
