"THE 1VAY TO THE WEST."
In a series of loosely connected, but
really Interlocking monographs upon cer
tain phages of the splendid and stirring
Mstory of the American West. Emerson
Hough tells how the 'vast region was con
quered, occupied and settled. The new
book bv thte writer, whom we first en
countered last j ear. when he put forth
the "Mississippi Bubble." Is the story of
the great pilgrimage to the Western
countrj. as seen through the biographies
of three eirly Americans, Boone, Crock
ett and Carson. Not concerned much
Ith a sequence of dates, or with a story
of martial or political triumphs, the writer
has In his new book. "The Way to the
West." rather shown something of the
genesis of the Western man whence he
came, why. In what fashion, under what
limitations.
The history of the West Is the record of
a people nlwas outstripping Its leaders In
wisdom. In energy. In foresight. Mr.
Hough presents It In epochs-dividing it
Into the times when the westbound man
crossed the Alleghanles. the Mississippi
when he crossed the Rockies; when he, the
man from the East, came Into possession
of the Pacific. The medium of biography
has been employed as a vehicle for con
vejlng the idea of a great and daring
people, led by a few heroic pilots, their
.significant Ihes being ued In Illustrative
capacity.
The historical method is not new. his
tory has long been writ In the lives of
great men- but the scheme of presenta
tion as applied In the West Is new and
entitles the work to tolerant considera
tion. No such comprehensive Iew of this
region's historical development has been
afforded by any other writer. Mr.
Hough's work Is specially unique for Its
logical arrangement of material, and for
its brevity, considering its scope; Its
pages numbering only about 400.
As to his "readability," or style this
comparatively new writer Is conspicuous
for clarity and simplicity of expression;
which Is at times combined with the
painting touch which warms mere out
lines Into lvld color.
We hac many books which give
phases or sections of the extensive sub
ject likewise several good biographies of
Boone. Crockett and. possibly, of Car
son; but It Is no exaggeration to say that
none of them equals in general effect tho
book of Mr. Hough. For a big canvas
showing a clear view and exhibiting a
masterly sense of historical perspective
"The Way to the West" may be recom-

HISTORY, DIOGRAPIIY AND TRAVEL
Thomas E. Watson, author of several
historical works, presents to the public
"The Life and Times of Thomas Jeffer
son." Mr. Watson believes that too many
historical narratives are warped by sec
tional prejudice, and It Is his effort to give
his book a national rather than locil
color and tone. AH together, he has dealt
fairly with the man. the facts, the times,
the different sections, and fairly with th
friends and enemies of Jefferson. The
book is Interesting, and the author pos
sesses an interesting manner. The princi
pal fault of the work consists In a lack
of literary finish, for which carelessness
seems to have been responsible. Some of
the passages read as If they had been
dictated, not written; and a revision of
the work, cutting out redundancy here
and there, and blue-penciling some sterea
typed' phrases and unnecessary verbiage
would Improve It considerably. In justice,
however. It should be observed that the
faults are minor one". Published by Ap
pletons. General John B. Gordon's "Reminis
cences of the Civil War" Is one of the most
attractive books of the present, because
of Its Interesting subject matter, and es
pecially on account of Its excellence of
stjle and diction. The contents are not
restricted to reminiscence, and It has been
the author's purpose to contribute some
thing toward the general history; though
ho has by no means attempted a compre
hensive description of the great struggle
or an elaborate analysis of the momentous
Interests and issues Involved. His review
of the heroic era Is condensed sufficiently
to claim the attention of busy people, and
so Impartial as to command the confidence
of falr-mlpdcd persons in all sections. It
Is lnt he personal flavor of the book that
Its real appeal and charm consist. The
General presents a wealth ct anecdote and
experience In an engaging manner. Pub

Margaret Sangster, maker of love sto
ries, has put forth a book which has In
terested not a few women; treating, as It
does, of a heroine's struggle to redeem
from vice the husband her own whom
she loves. The story Is rather well done.
"Eleanor Lee" Is ,a womanly creature, not
altogether without faults of her own. but
possessing the main virtues and a great
and unshakable fidelity. She Is wondrous
ly beautiful and magnetic, and when she
Is compared with the other women In ths
novel one can't help wondering, as one
always wonders In such cases, why the
husband couldn't appreciate her earlier In
the romance. The reason was. perlaps,
the novelist's own. Of course, the husband
wasn't worth all her love and loyalty the
husband In such cases never Is. There
will be found those who will say that this
story la "true to life." "Eleanor Lee" Is
published by the Fleming H. Revell Com
pany. You couldn't expect the author of so
many sensational and record-breaking
"best sellers" to keep long silent, and it
Is therefore without surprise that you
greet Mr. Charles Major's "latest," named
"A Forest Hearth"; being a romance of
Indiana In the early thirties. Mr. Charles
Major is the author of "Dorothy Vernon
of Haddon Hall" and "When Knighthood
Was in Flower," sometimes called by en
vious and uncultured persons "When
Knighthood Was in the Flour Barrel";
and he Is probably the greatest humorist
In a way, of these times, so great In fact,
that his publishers dare send forth his
"latest" In uncut pages. We have cut
them, however, and we discover In "A
Forest Hearth" the eame well-known ele

the other best sellers even more so. And
what more can be said? Published by the

Is readable and diverting. The novel com
bines all the elements and characters of

there are "heelers" and "Indians" and all
the accessories requisite for a red-hot
