NICK OF THE WOODS.

Nick of the Woods, or the Jibbenainosay; a Tale of Kentucky. By
Robert M. Bird, M. D., Author of "Calavar," "The Infidel,"
&c. New and Revised Edition, with Illustrations by Darley. 1
volume, 12mo., cloth, $1.25.

"One of those singular tales which impress themselves in ineradicable characters
upon the memory of every imaginative reader."

—Arthur's Home Gazette.

"Notwithstanding it takes the form of a novel, it is understood to be substantial truth
in the dress of fiction; and nothing is related but which has its prototype in actual
reality."

—Albany Argus.

"It is a tale of frontier life and Indian warfare, written by a masterly pen, with its
scenes so graphically depicted that they amount to a well-executed painting, at once
striking and thrilling."

—Buffalo Express.
