The Last War Trail is the third volume in the Deerfoot Series. The book begins: Now, I have a secret which I wish to tell my young friends in this the first chapter of The Last War Trail. I believe it is the rule among storywriters that such matters are to be held back until the close of the narrative. In one respect I am following that rule, for the little secret about which I dropped a hint here and there among the Young Pioneer Series, Log-Cabin Series, and the two volumes of this series, has been reserved for the last in which the name of Deerfoot the Shawanoe will ever be mentioned.
