Excerpt from The Land in the Mountains: Being an Account of the Past Present of Tyrol, Its People and Its Castles

My friend's father owned two fine estates in one of the most beautiful Alpine districts of Austria, and there the family usually spent the summers and autumns. The estates marched with the famous deer and Chamois preserves of the Emperor at Ischl, the well-known favorite summer resort of the Imperial family in Upper Austria which has since lost some of its charm by becoming a fashionable and overcrowded watering-place Here my friend, amid the most lovely scenery imaginable and among the most inspiriting sporting environments, of which he gave us a slight glimpse in his Sport in the Alps, passed part of his early youth.
