Excerpt from Pathfinders of the West: Being the Thrilling Story of the Adventures, of the Men Who Discovered, the Great Northwest, Radisson, La Verendrye, Lewis and Clark: *Dear Mr. Sulte:
A few years ago, when I was a resident of the Far West and tried to trace the paths of early explorers, I found that all authorities - first, second, and third rate - alike referred to one source of information for their facts. The name in the tell-tale footnote was invariably your own.
While I assume all responsibility for upsetting the apple cart of established opinions by this book, will you permit me to dedicate it to you as a slight token of esteem to the greatest living French-Canadian historian, from whom we have all borrowed and to whom few of us have rendered the tribute due? *
