A story of the Dakotas in the 1870s, depicting one of the Indian uprisings that were so frequent and so terrible in those days. It is strong in plot, vivid in action, and of great interest. Seth is a character no one can fail to admire.
Included in this edition of the 1909 version of "The Watchers of the Plains" is the original frontpiece by J. C. Leyendecker, rejuvenated, and 10 additional, Native American illustrations that are unique to this edition of the book. Also included is an abbreviated biography of the author, and an annotated bibliography of his work.
Sidney Groves Burghard was born in London, England, Aug. 13, 1867, and died Nov. 3, 1943. He wrote almost three dozen novels, almost all set in the Western U.S. and Canada, using the pseudonym Ridgwell Cullum. Burghard loved adventuring: he mined for gold in South Africa and the Canadian Yukon, and was involved in the conflict between British and Boar settlers in the Cape of Good Hope. Before turning to a successful, 40-year writing career, Burghard ran a profitable cattle ranch in Montana.
