 The Boy Pathfinder, Story of the Oregon Trail" This is the second vol ume of the Making of Our Nation Se- ries," by Wallace c. Sprague: illustra- ted by A. B. Shute: cloth. The plan of Mir. Spra que, wtlI known as the editor of The American Boy" to bring out important periods in the history Of the development of our country by series of interesting stories for boys Was suc- cessfully begun last year by the first volume of 'The Making Of Our Nation Series," entitled "The Boy Courier of Napoleon" which told the story of the Louisiana purchase. This year. with equally appropriate timeliness, he has written The Boy Pathfinder, Story of the Oregon Trail" In this his pleasing style lends fascination to the romantic story of the Lewis and Clark Expedition. The hero is an actual character, George shannon, who was i the only member of the famous eXpe- dition that was not of mature age. It 1 is well established that young Shan- non was born in Pennsylvania, but went with his parents to Ohio in early boyhood, where his father died. At 1 the age of fourteen the boy was sent back to Pennsylvania to attend school in Pittsburg, and at seventeen left school to join with Lewis and Clark Mir. Sprague follows actual records of | the party very closely, thereby mak- i ing his story valuable without lessen- ing its interest. Price $1.5O.
