"The history of American trails and carries in colonial times; of paths, roads, and highways in our national beginnings; and of our great lake, river, and railroad traffic in later times is and has been of the first importance in our social and political history. Mr. Hulbert has shown himself abundantly able to investigate the subject and put in good form the results of his labors."—Professor William M. Sloane, Princeton University.
"Mr. Hulbert has evidently mastered his subject, and has treated it very ably and enthusiastically. History is too frequently a mere collection of dry bones, but here we have a book which, when once begun, will be read eagerly to the end, so vividly does the author bring scenes and personages before us."—Current Literature.
"As in the prior volumes, the general effect is that of a most entertaining series. The charm of the style is evident."—American Historical Review.
"His style is effective . . . an invaluable contribution to the makings of American History."— New York Evening Post.
"Should fill an important and unoccupied place in American historical literature."—The Dial.

A SERIES OF ANNOTATED REPRINTS of some of the best and rarest contemporary Travels, descriptive of the Aborigines and Social and Economic Conditions in the Middle and Far West, during the Period of Early American Settlement.
Edited, with Historical, Geographical, Ethnological, and Bibliographical Notes, and Introductions and Index, by Reuben Gold Thwaites Editor of "The Jesuit Relations and Allied Documents," "Wisconsin Historical Collections," "Chronicles of Border Warfare," "Hennepin's New Discovery," etc.
With facsimiles of the original title-pages, maps, portraits, views, etc. 31 volumes, large 8vo, cloth, uncut, gilt tops. Price $4 net per volume (except the Atlas, which is $15 net). Limited edition; each set numbered and signed.
An Elaborate Analytical Index to the Whole
Almost all the rare originals are unindexed. In the present reprint series, this immense mass of historical data will be made accessible through one exhaustive analytical index.
Rarity of the Originals. This series comprises only works of permanent historical value. All are quite scarce, and bring steadily-advancing prices. Some of them are of exceeding rarity——so rare, in fact, that they are not to be found in the largest collections of Americana in this country. Many are so hard to find that for several years past, orders placed for them both here and abroad, without restriction as to price, have not been filled.
Mr. Thwaites's Eminence as an authority on all matters connected with the history of the West, and his well-known standing as an Editor and Librarian, will be sufficient assurance of the value of the Travels selected, and of the care with which the series will be edited throughout.
​"Students desiring to know the true inwardness of this far-reaching event in American History, must inevitably hereafter turn first to Dr. Doughty's scholarly and well-considered volumes."—American Historical Review.
The Siege of Quebec and the Battle of the Plains of Abraham
By A. Doughty, Litt. D. (Laval), Joint Librarian of the Legislature, Quebec, in collaboration with G. W. Parmeler, D.C.L., Secretary of the Department of Public Instruction, Quebec
With Plans, Portraits, and Views
THIS is the first ample history of the campaign of 1759, and the most extensive and important monograph that has so far been written on any episode in the annals of New France. But the interest of the subject outstrips all bounds that are merely local. Montcalm's defeat and the English occupation of Quebec were great events in the history of the whole continent. In the world-struggles between England and France they rank even before the battle of Plassey.
A limited edition of 525 sets was printed, of which only 19 remain for sale. Complete in 6 volumes, small quarto, handsomely printed, and bound in blue cloth. Price $50.00, net.
"Indispensable to every future historian of the Seven Years' War in America. … The cartography of the campaign has been largely supplemented by Mr. Doughty's discoveries. … The mechanical features of these volumes deserve high praise."—New York Evening Post.
"Merits the thanks of all those interested in probably the most famous incident of our history."—Sir John G. Bourinot, K.C.M.G., LL.D., Litt.D.
"A hundred and one writers have treated this well-worn subject, but it has been left for Messrs. Doughty and Parmelee to go over the whole ground and present us with a final and authoritative record." —The Daily Chronicle, London, England.
