CHIQUITA; An American Novel; The Romance of a Ute Chief's Daughter (Illustrated)

Merrill Tileston is possessed of a good descriptive style and there is plenty of dramatics in the book. His picture of the Ute girl trying to reconcile her tribal teachings with those of civilization, are well drawn, and will doubtless create no small amount of discussion on the part of the many who are interested in the Indian problem and his education. The book is handsomely printed and on the striking cover is a descriptive design, showing the two paths trod by Chiquita; the one in the wilderness, and the other in the haunts of civilization.

A genuine American novel—from beginning to end the author borrows nothing and imitates nothing. The story is never dull. In outline it is a simple tale of an Indian chief's daughter, who coveted the learning.

Every physician, nurse and intern will remember a Chiquita as she stifles her love for a Jack Sheppard, as she bent over his unconscious form upon the operating table.

Every minister of the gospel; every teacher of learning and every sociological philosopher will learn a lesson as Chiquita bids farewell to civilization to seek rest and. contentment in an Indian tepee on the Grand River

Every policeman and police reporter will recognize the dens which Chiquita visits, accompanied by a well-known Sunday-school politician, during her slumming expedition in the study of "Galling Yokes of Civilization."

A strictly American novel is "Chiquita". The story is one that can not fail to make the reader take a new interest in the race that once owned this country and whose remnants have strong claims upon our sympathy and justice.Times.

The moral that is drawn from its human fable is one of appealing interest and pathos

The Indian and Civilization are brought face to face by Merrill Tileston in his American Novel of Chiquita.
