Fe trail, in company with a caravan
Starting from St. Louis, with goods TOT
trading with the American merchants
In Mexican territory The time OF the
story is shortly before the begnnlns
of the war with Mexico. and dealS
some with the troubles that led up 10
that conflict. The time and the scene
chosen by Mrs. Arlington Tor ner
story are fraught with historic IN
cident and touched with a keener
edged interest as their happenings re-
cede into the past. The book Is writ
ten in the form of diary kept by the
heroine, and all the excitement that
such a journey might contain, is set
out in its pages. There is a steam
boat journey on the Mississippi in
craft built by one of the party, there
is a buffalo stampede, adventures with
the plains Indians. storm and flood,
the parching heat of the desert Inc
party of the caravan is made up OF
Interesting personageS, and the define
alton of the frontiersmen OF that time,
and of the lives of the spanish ana
Mexican people of the far west under
the rule of Santa Anna, and before
the southwestern territory came into
the possession of the United States. is
full of interest to the dilatory student
of history who has known only the
main outline of events in those stir
ring times.
The book sets out a diversity of
types, and there is good deal of
clever dialect. spoken by the French,
Mexicans and Scots. who appear IN
the story. Fremont and Kit Carson
are among the historic characters ae-
picted in the book.
There is a love story, of course. and
a minor love story is brought in at
the last so that the women readers
can lay aside the book in absolute con-
tentment, having witnessed a double
wedding.
The author of the book is well
known over the state for she has lived
in Kansas a good many years, and has
been prominent in club work. having
been instrumental in the founding of
the travelling art gallery which bears
her name. She was entertained in
