Gilmore is a collection of folklore and mythological accounts centered around the prairies of North Dakota and adjacent regions, likely written in the early 20th century.

It offers a tapestry of stories, legends, and observations about the flora, fauna, and landscapes that shape the spiritual and practical lives of these communities. The opening of "Prairie Smoke" introduces a dedication to the original inhabitants of the Great Plains, celebrating their love and understanding of the land.
