"Only one who has lived in that land of 'illimitable possibilities,' and experienced the brightness of its winter and summer sunshine, and tasted of the water of the Red River, that ever after leaves an unquenchable thirst, and sniffed the ozone of the prairies, and mingled with the heartiest and most friendly people on earth, can fully appreciate this book. The high respect in which the author is deservedly held will, no doubt, ensure a large sale for the work. In the North-West, particularly, it should be in every home and Sunday School library."

[Illustration: Cover] "Dr. Maclean's familiarity with western life is evident in this collection of stories. All are well told."--_The Westminster._ "Dr. Maclean has rendered a distinct service to Canadian literature by photographing in this series of pictures a type of Canadian life which is fast passing away."--_Rev. W. H. Withrow, D.D._ "These stories are admirably written. They present the life and legends of the great North-West in a manner calculated to excite a sincere and useful interest among strangers."--_Mail and Empire._ "A collection of short stories, some dramatic, some pathetic, all serious.... The Indian tales are very pathetic and most interesting from an ethnological standpoint....
