Another Book By Mrs. Margaret Hill McCarter.

Mrs. Margaret Hill McCarter, a former teacher in the Rensselaer public schools before her marriage, is to publish another book this fall, which is to be her crowning effort\as an authoress. The title of the book is io be “The Price of the Prairie.” This is a story of Kansas, and the conflict of the whites and Indians, culminating 1n... the famous Osage massacre, which is most ’graphically described. Combined with the thrilling story of frontier strife is a gentle, love story and some remarkably poetic descriptions of the glamour and shiiar.ier of the plains before the coming of civilization blotted it out. While the story is primarily fiction it is based on historical events and into it are woven such famous characters as Gen. Phil Sheridan, Gen. Custer, Col. Forsythe, Lieut. Fred Beecher and many others.
