NOTICE.

Gustave Aimard was the adopted son of one of the most powerful Indiantribes, with whom he lived for more than fifteen years in the heart ofthe Prairies, sharing their dangers and their combats, and accompanyingthem everywhere, rifle in one hand and tomahawk in the other. In turnsquatter, hunter, trapper, warrior, and miner, Gustave Aimard hastraversed America from the highest peaks of the Cordilleras to theocean shores, living from hand to mouth, happy for the day, carelessof the morrow. Hence it is that Gustave Aimard only describes hisown life. The Indians of whom he speaks he has known—the manners hedepicts are his own.
