Cole or Ileamce. entitled "In th. Early Days Along the Overland Trail In Nebraska Territory In WZ." Captain Cola was one of the Cali fornia Argonauts of that period and made tha trip with a caravan consiitm of twenty-four men and one woman, wlfa of the csptaln ' tnn emigrant company which .tarted from Monroe. Mich., March 1. 1852. with forty-four head of horses and mule and eluht wagons. The final outfitting of the caravan was made at Ht. JoFph. Mo., crossing the Missouri river at Savannah Landing, now Ama conla. There they entered the territory of Nebraska, which then comprised al most the r.ntlre vast expanse of coun try extending from the Missouri river to the Sierra Nevada, mountains. An Intensely Interesting story Is told of the trip, which occupied five month, across the trackless plains of Nebraska, and the sufferings and privations Incident thereto. It Is replete with graphlo detail told In monologue and enchains the at tention of the reader from preface to finis, and one regret that the US pages of the book could not be drawn out to twice that length. Captain Cole has sought to tell In a plain and simple way the ever thrilling story of the Overland Trail and has eminently succeeded. Captain Cole Is an old resident of Nebraska, settling at Beatrice some thirty years ago. In the retrospect of his valuable book he aays: "Today as t look back on the more than fifty Interesting yeare I realise that the wealth I gathered from the wayside of each day'a doings has enriched my whole after life far beyond the nuggets T digged from the mines. Nature never does anything half heartedly. Her every lesson, picture and song Is an lnsptrer and enrlcher to all who would learn, look and listen aright" Red Saunders Is one of the most con spicuous and best beloved characters of recent short fiction. In "Plain Mary Smith." he makes his first appearance aa the dominant character In ft long story, lie relates his own adventures and what he has to say Is not more Interesting than the way he says It. On the boat en route to Panama Red meets "Plain Mary Smith" plain only In name. And no lady had truer knight nor one more quixotic than Hed In the strenuous days that followed In the city of Panama where Mary went to teach the natives and Red to break bronchos. A revolution brief aa a summer shower and quite as fierce while It lasted gives Red a splendid opportunity to exhibit lils savage Joyousness in battle. His re suurcxfulnevs is admirably displayed when, cartridges having become exhausted, he puts out the last sputtering of revolution with quart cans of tomatoes unerringly nlnied at the unfortunate Pan am ana. Pub lished by The Century company, "Three Daughters of the Confederacy" by Cyrus Townsend Brady Is a story of three charming southern girls at the time of the civil war. The adventures of one take place on the Atlantic coast during the blockade at the very beginning of the war. The second maiden, who married a Yankee noncombatant In spite of herself but was not won until after the taking of Vtcksburg, has the Mississippi river as a background for her adventures. The third daughter was more loyal to the south. Iler lover was a cavalry captain under Stone wall Jackson and their happiness began with the ending of the war at Appomattox. There is a background of struggle and some descriptive work In the stories of the battles that stands favorable compari son with the works of any modern author. lr. Brady's knowledge of the country and his personal relationship to the south as well as to the north have enabled him to write of the struggle without prejudice. Published by the a. W. Dillingham coin pany. "An Orchard Princess," by Henry Bar bour is another of the dainty gift books for the holiday season.
