Excerpt from The People of the Plains There are at the present time several old Indians who believe that their forefathers, many years ago, came to this from some other continent; that they crossed a large body of water, landing at several difierent islands on their voyage; that they travelled towards the rising sun, and were stopped in their journey by unfriendly tribes. These hostile Indians forced them to settle upon the prairies, where they have dwelt for hundreds of years. A different language was spoken by their forefathers, and the country they came from was warmer than this part of the world.

Excerpt from My People of the Plains The experience herein related took place during the eleven years in which the author had the great privilege of ministering as a bishop to the warm-hearted and generous pioneers of the Rocky Mountain region embraced in the territory now included in the states of Wyoming and Idaho. During that time, he had the happiness of knowing the people as they lived in the mining-camp, on the ranch, in the excitement of the round-up, as they followed their herds of sheep, or indulged in the recreation of hunting big game in the forests or sage-chicken on the plains, or as they beguiled the happy hours with rod and line in that angler's paradise. A more kindly hospitality no bishop ever received, and, as he recalls those years after the lapse of time, they are as vivid as the memory of yesterday's events. It has been a positive delight and refreshment, in the midst of the busy life of an Eastern bishop, to live over again the scenes so fondly cherished, and to summon before him the familiar faces of the friends whom he then learned to honor and to love.

Excerpt from The Rainbow Chasers: A Story of the Plains Broidered with fiction, constitute no in considerable part of this book. The narrator might add fiarther concerning many of the things herein written, All of whic I saw, and part of which I was; and, with an exception as to the garniture of fiction, he still would be within the strong corral of truth. He not only knows that the Rainbow Chasers existed, he was one of them. The life history of Christine, more t ic even than here recorded, was heard from one fie knew. If Dick Brewster - a story must have its hero! Did not do all the things with which he is credited, what matters it? He would have done them, for that was his way. So of the other people who walk this paper stage. The deep woods of Arkansas stil eels the bite of the booming, whining, hungry saw. As for the plains, they are still there, Wind-harried, miragy, sun-kissed, often sun-blistered and blizzard-swept, just as when the Rainbow Chasers hunted over them so wildly for the pot of gold. You may see them yourself, if you will, between the one hundredth meridian and the foot-hills. The Arkansas, sleepy-eyed in its lullabied bed, still hides away beneath its gray-white coverlet of shifting sands ten months of the year, then be.
