THREE BIG BOOKS

OUR SOUTHERN
HIGHLANDEKS

TURE

OUR SOUTHERN HIGHLANDERS

By HORACE KEPHART

Author of "The Book of Camping and Woodcraft," etc.

The first really adequate account, intimate, sincere, and sympathetic of a people who today live and think much as the early colonial settlers did one hundred and fifty years ago.

A book of positive revelation, full of quaint humor and the thrill of wilderness life.

Mr. Kephart has lived so long in this little known region of the Appalachians that he writes of these people almost as one of them, while he has retained the keenness and discrimination of the trained observer.

Illustrated with many photographs by the author. Octavo, red cloth binding, $2.50 net. Postage 16c.

THE TRAIL TO YESTERDAY

By CHARLES ALDEN SELTZER

Author of "The Coming of the Law," "The Two Gun Man"
The story of an Eastern girl in the old West.
Breezy, tense, thrilling fiction of the sort to make one
forget today and trouble.

Without doubt the best story yet written by Mr.
Seltzer, whose place as a man who knows how to tell
a good story right was firmly established by his "Two
Gun Man" and confirmed by "The Coming of the
Law."

Four illustrations by R. W. Amick. Blue cloth, gold stamping. 12mo. $1.35 net. Postage 10c.

A YEAR WITH A WHALER

By WALTER NOBLE BURNS

Out of sheer desire to see what it was like, Mr. Burns shipped as "greenhorn" on a whaler making the voyage from San Francisco up into the Arctic.

They wallowed through hurricanes, traded with the natives, bumped the Arctic ice floes, and caught their share of bowheads.

It is a story of personal adventure and observation, perhaps a last first-hand glimpse of a dying industry and of the life it entailed on the men who followed it. Illustrated with photographs. 12mo. $2.00 net. Postage 12c.

Col. Roosevelt's Own Story of His Life

THEODORE ROOSEVELT: AUTOBIOGRAPHY

This exceptional story of a life replete with human interest, told in Col. Roosevelt's characteristically vigorous and easily flowing colloquial style, is one that will make a strong and satisfying appeal to every class of readers.

To the lover of the strenuous life as well as to the student of contemporaneous history, to the young people of the country particularly, who all find a special attraction in personal narrative of active achievement, this autobiography will afford keen satisfaction and high inspiration.

From his boyhood days in New York, his adolescent youth at Harvard University, his young manhood days in the Wild West, and through a diversified public career which led to the Presidency of the United States, Col. Roosevelt was a learner as well as a born leader. In this book he tells of the many things which he learned and how he learned them, relating them primarily with a view to the help they may give others.

Taking the initiative in many of the most important events of our times-both national and international-his autobiography is a unique record of men and events, and of a career of almost unparalleled interest.

Decorated cover.
