Stand Pat; Or, Poker Stories from the Mississippi
Curtis, David A.
Poker players -- Fiction; Short stories, American
“True in substance but fascinating as fiction. It will interest old and
young, city-bound and free-footed, those who know animals and those who
do not.”--_Chicago Record-Herald._
“A brilliant chapter in natural history.”--_Philadelphia North
American._
The Kindred of the Wild
A BOOK OF ANIMAL LIFE. With fifty-one full-page plates and many
decorations from drawings by Charles Livingston Bull.
Square quarto, decorative cover $2.00
“Is in many ways the most brilliant collection of animal stories that
has appeared; well named and well done.”--_John Burroughs._
The Watchers of the Trails
A companion volume to “The Kindred of the Wild.” With forty-eight
full-page plates and many decorations from drawings by Charles
Livingston Bull.
Square quarto, decorative cover $2.00
“Mr. Roberts has written a most interesting series of tales free from
the vices of the stories regarding animals of many other writers,
accurate in their facts and admirably and dramatically told.”--_Chicago
News._
“These stories are exquisite in their refinement, and yet robust in
their appreciation of some of the rougher phases of woodcraft. Among the
many writers about animals, Mr. Roberts occupies an enviable
place.”--_The Outlook._
“This is a book full of delight. An additional charm lies in Mr. Bull’s
faithful and graphic illustrations, which in fashion all their own tell
the story of the wild life, illuminating and supplementing the pen
pictures of the author.”--_Literary Digest._
Earth’s Enigmas
A new edition of Mr. Roberts’s first volume of fiction, published
in 1892, and out of print for several years, with the addition of
three new stories, and ten illustrations by Charles Livingston
Bull.
Library 12mo, cloth, decorative cover $1.50
“It will rank high among collections of short stories. In ‘Earth’s
Enigmas’ is a wider range of subject than in the ‘Kindred of the
Wild.’”--_Review from advance sheets of the illustrated edition by
Tiffany Blake in the Chicago Evening Post._
Barbara Ladd

sympathetic analysis of human character.”--_Boston Transcript._

“Professor Roberts deserves the thanks of his reader for giving a wider
audience an opportunity to enjoy this striking bit of French Canadian
literature.”--_Brooklyn Eagle._
“It is not often in these days of sensational and philosophical novels
that one picks up a book that so touches the heart.”--_Boston
