Books
The flower garden
Aesop's fables
A collection of the brief animal tales with specific morals which are attributed to a wise Greek slave. Includes The Fox and the Grapes, The Crow and the Pitcher, The Dog in the Manger, and The Shepherd Boy and the Wolf, among many others.
Three years among the Indians and Mexicans
One of the earliest narratives of the fur-trade; covering experiences on the upper Missouri in 1809, and an expedition to Santa Fe, in 1821. Written from James' dictation by Nathan Niles, who, resenting local newspaper criticism, destroyed nearly all copies. The first first copy of James' work to turn up came into the collection of the Missouri Historical Society in 1909 or 1910. Realizing the importance and rarity of the James narrative, this Society issued the first reprint in 1916.
