These two volumes are the result of a

the author has not supplemented his con-
slant references to his authorities in text

the original records are quoted verbatim,
which adds greatly to the picturesque
ness of the chronicle The first volume is
devoted to a description and history of
the region, the debatable land" as the
author calls 1t, whose destiny the trader
decided before it was settled by the for
tunes of war, and to studies of the In
dams and the earlier traders themselves,
OF their paths into the country and the
towns where they transacted business.
The second volume gives no less than
two chapters to George Croghan, the
greatest trader of them all, and to John

Hilda Worth. the heroine of this story,

Bay about 1880. Mr.. Spearman went to
Lawrence University at Appleton, Wis
his parents had moved to that State in
1S6S-but his delicate health prevented
his graduation and shattered his hopes Of
a professional career. At sixteen he had
to spend year in rest and travel, and
year later went into the wholesale
grocery business of his brother, Harry D.
Spearman, at Chicago.
In 1884 he married the daughter Of
Thomas Lonergan, one of Chieagos pio-
neer merchants and two years later, brok-
en- down in health by hard work, moved to
Nebraska and spent ten years working
in a bank Of which he finally became
president But all this time he spent his
leisure hours in writing articles for the
New York papers and magazines; and
finally, retiring from business at thirty
six, he gave himself up entirely to the
writing of fiction. In 1894 he returned
from the far West and settled in Wheat
on, one of Chicagos quietest suburbs,
with his wife and four boys.
Among his writings, besides Whispering

TURES AND ADVENTURES OF THE PENN
SYLYANLA TRADERS ON THE ALLEGHENY
PATH, WITH SOME NEW ANNALS OF THE
STRONG MEN AND SOME BAD ONES. b.
Charles A. Hanna. With 80 maps and liastrar
tons Two volumes. sEo, pp. xiv, $50; vi, 45.
G. P. Putnam's Sons
Mr.. Hanna prefaces these two sizable
and useful volumes with an iconoclastic
introduction in which he puts on record
his opinion of what history is not. Tacitus
and Thucydides. Macaulay, Froude, Car
lyle, Buckle, and many other historians
and their schools fare badly at his hands
in energetic sentences that contain, after
all but little that is new.
Having thus cleared the path. he prof
fers his own theory of the historians
business which is that of simply dis
covering and recording facts" OF, as Mr.
Hanna expresses it elsewhere, written
history should be a phonograph TO lived
history" As to the meaning of the facts,
it is 'the business of the common mans
philosophy to seek them. not to fabricate
them, as the writings of our philosophers
would lead him to infer" Finally, hav-
ing disposed of the history of past poll
tics and hero worship, of warriors and
statesmen, he sets up hero of his own,
the trader:
NOW, while our material civilization
has been built UP by the pick, the ak, the
plow, the spinning wheel, the steam en-
gine, and the historically ignoble trader,
rather than by and notwithstanding the
war club, the battle-ax, the idealist, and
the talker. it has only recently occurred
TO men that there might be better way
to learn their own race history than by
repeating unmeaning and ofttimes un-
merited eulogies of soldiers, or attempt
ing to analyze, classify. and draw lessons
from the short-sighted and short-lived
policies Of opportunist statecraft or
prophesying the rise and fan OF the stock
market in times of peace by citing causes
for the high price Of wheat during the
Punic wars or the Norman conquest"
With this quotation. characteristic Of
its general tone. we take leave OF the IN
production. to turn with real appreciation
to Mr.. Hanna's record OF facts.
He deals with what he calls the sgrow-
ing agea OF the American colonies. from
1889, when twelve New York traders seem
first to have reached the Ohio Valley. to
1752. when f1ve of George Croghanss trad
ers were captured by the French Indians
at the Siege of Pickawiliany The
boundary war which followed between
England and France merely served 70
