  Barbara, the heroine of Mr. Whitson's first Western novel, is theloyal wife of a self-centred man of literary tastes, living on a ranchin Kansas. "Barbara is a fresh, breezy sort of a girl; and the accountof her life and ultimate happiness, as described by Mr. Whitson, makesone of the best stories of the season," says the St. Paul Globe.

  "We are carried from one scene to another with an ease andexpeditiousness that plainly betokens the author's familiarity withthe length and breadth of the Western country, and the people he sovividly portrays," says the San Francisco News-Letter.

  Hon. John D. Long, ex-Secretary of the Navy, in a letter to theauthor, says: "You have the story-teller's art. I like especiallythose portions of the book which treat of Western scenes andlife--the homestead, the plain, the prairie, the pioneer's experience,the mining camp, Cripple Creek, and Pike's Peak. You bring out thegrowth of the country, the speculative ups and downs, the mountaincurves of the narrow railroads; and the winter scene with thedangerous trip over the mountain from Feather Bow is very graphic."
