While the St. Lawrence River has been the scene of many important events connected with the discovery and development of a large portion of North America, no attempt has heretofore been made to collect and embody in one volume a complete and comprehensive narrative of this great waterway. This is not denying that considerable has been written relating to it, but the various offerings have been scattered through many volumes, and most of these have become inaccessible to the general reader. This work presents in a consecutive narrative the most important historic incidents connected with the river, combined with descriptions of some of its most picturesque scenery and delightful excursions into its legendary lore. In selecting the hundred illustrations care has been taken to give as wide a scope as possible to the views belonging to the river. The Niagara River By Archer Butler Hulbert Professor of American History, Marietta College; author of “The Ohio River,” “Historic Highways of America,” etc. _350 pages, with 70 Illustrations and Maps. $3.50 net_ Professor Hulbert tells all that is best worth recording of the history of the river which gives the book its title, and of its commercial present and its great commercial future. An immense amount of carefully ordered information is here brought together into a most entertaining and informing book. No mention of this volume can be quite adequate that fails to take into account the extraordinary chapter which is given to chronicling the mad achievements of that company of dare-devil bipeds of both sexes who for decades have been sweeping over the Falls in barrels and other receptacles, or who have gone dancing their dizzy way on ropes or wires stretched from shore to shore above the boiling, leaping water beneath. The Hudson River FROM OCEAN TO SOURCE _Historical--Legendary--Picturesque_ By Edgar Mayhew Bacon Author of “Chronicles of Tarrytown,” “Narragansett Bay,” etc. _600 Pages, with 100 Illustrations, including a Sectional Map of the Hudson River. $3.50 net_ “The value of this handsome quarto does not depend solely on the attractiveness with which Mr. Bacon has invested the whole subject, it is a kind of footnote to the more conventional histories, because it throws light upon the life and habits of the earliest settlers. It is a study of Dutch civilization in the New World, severe enough in intentions to be accurate, but easy enough in temper to make a great deal of humor, and to comment upon those characteristic customs and habits which, while they escape the attention of the formal historian, are full of significance.”--_Outlook._ The Connecticut River AND THE Valley of the Connecticut THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY MILES FROM MOUNTAIN TO SEA _Historical and Descriptive_ By Edwin Munroe Bacon Author of “Walks And Rides in the Country Round About Boston,” etc. _500 Pages, with 100 Illustrations and a Map. $3.50 net_
