Excerpt from The Rockies of Canada Fishing, and of that very interesting tribe, the Stony Indians. The work is illustrated by photogravure and half tone plates from original photographs by the author. In books where natural scenery makes an important part, good photographs give a clearer idea of the country than word painting, however faithful, and with the knowledge of this fact no pains have been spared to get the best possible effect in every detail. The illustrations are selected from a large collection, and represent many toilsome climbs and foot jour neys, made under the heavy and sometimes danger ous burden of a camera, when repeated visits to favoured Spots year after year have not always met with success, and, owing to smoke of forest fires, or the accident of clouds and storm, there was often no reward for patient effort. Two maps accompany the text; one a special contour map which shows the details of the country near Lake Louise, and the other a general map of the Rocky Mountains compiled from all the best maps hitherto published, supplemented by several recent sketches.
