_My Dear Nephews and Nieces_:--
A long time ago, before any of you were born, great herds of buffalo fedon the western plains, and wild Indians lived by hunting them. They atethe flesh, wore the skins as clothing, slept in lodges made from thehides, and fashioned tools from different parts of the buffalo's body.
There were few settlements, and as the buffalo roamed far and wide overthe treeless land, the Indians followed them; for then both were free.Often a tribe was obliged to defend itself against the attacks ofenemies; and its young men often made war journeys into hostile country.Though the daily life of the village was quiet and simple, yet sometimesit was interrupted by most exciting incidents and adventures both ofhunting and fighting.
You listened attentively to the story of "Jack, the Young Ranchman," andI hope that you will like to learn what Jack did the next season, whenhe spent the summer with the buffalo eaters of the Northern Plains,hunted their game, fought their enemies and lived their life.
