- Notes:
- Probably written by Emerson Bennett, author of the novella "Prairie flower." Sir Charles Augustus Murray is author of "The prairie bird" but unlikely to be the author of the present work.
- "Very doubtful if by Murray, issued probably to take advantage of."
- "This has been ascribed to Sir Charles Murray ... But the Cincinnati imprint points toward Mr. Bennett. This is written in Emerson Bennett's style, very unlike Murray's writings ..."-- Henry R. Wagner, The plains and the Rockies, 3d. edition, revised by C.L. Camp, 1953, numbers 145.
