BEEDE'S BOOK

On2 Of the latest productions in

an Indian drama by A. Nc. &. Bcnde,

After reading the analytic mono
gram dealing with the character OF
Sitting Bull the historian feels that
lie really understands this complex
person, and has at last seen the gold
Ell thread Of consistency running
through his apparently inconsistent
actions. Other character sketches
are important and contain some new
material, while the detailed account
OF the numerous Indian sources from
which the material for the book is
derived is as surprising as it is sim
pie. The dra.la makes no use of any
sources created by white men, but
relies exclusively Upon Indian sources.
The extensive art work illustrating
the subject matter Of the book is
adapted from strictly Indian sources
and is expressly prepared for this
book by u. J. Wilkinson Of the Bis.
