"No one who wishes to know the true story of the conquest of the greater part of this great nation can afford to pass by this book."--_Cleveland Leader._ "A vivid picture of the Indian wars preceding the Louisiana purchase, of the expedition of Lewis and Clark, and of events following the occupation of Oregon."--_The Congregationalist._ "It may not be the great American novel we have been waiting for so long, but it certainly looks as though it would be very near it."--_Rochester Times._ "The characters that are assembled in 'The Conquest' belong to the history of the United States; their story is a national epic."--_Detroit Free Press._ McLOUGHLIN AND OLD OREGON By EVA EMERY DYE. A Chronicle. _Fifth Edition._ 12mo, $1.50. This is a most graphic and interesting chronicle of the movement which added to the United States that vast territory, previously a British possession, of which Oregon formed a part, and how Dr. John McLoughlin, then chief factor of the Hudson's Bay Company for the Northwest, by his fatherly interest in the settlers, displeased the Hudson's Bay Company and aided in bringing this about. The author has gathered her facts at first hand, and as a result the work is vivid and picturesque and reads like a romance. "A spirited narrative of what life in the wilderness meant in the early days, a record of heroism, self-sacrifice, and dogged persistence; a graphic page of the story of the American pioneer."--_New York Mail and Express._ A. C. McCLURG & CO., _Publishers_
