A hatchet of stone, cumbersome and crude, but a dangerous weapon once, though now it is only a silent memento of the days of Captain Pipe, of lone-elk, of Fishing Bird, the scowl ing Big Buffalo and the graceful, pretty Gentle Maiden as well, lies on my table as I write. Of Captain Pipe, Big Buffalo and certain of the others, I have already told you something; -but you have yet to hear of lone-elk, the Seneca, - lone-elk, the outcast from the vil lages of his people, - bold and strong yet crafty, deceitful, treacherous, - and still, withal as ambitious and as vain an Indian as ever trod the long-ago forest fastnesses.

A Bride Goes West is new and fresh because it is impregnated with a just sense of values about life. When Nannie Tiffany of West Virginia married Walt Alderson, who'd already been on the cattle trail for years, in 1882, they went to Montana to start a little ranch. There's plenty about ranching in this book but what is most valuable is about life, about people in this ranch country.
