Excerpt from Sport With Gun and Rod in American Woods and Waters
We shall have attained our object in this book, if the Sportsman, as he reads it, feels his lungs expand with the cool, balsam-laden air of the woods; hears the sudden whir-r-r of the rufl'ed grouse on the mountain-side, and feels his nerves grow tense as he again stands over his dog and is about to flush the woodcock or snipe; hears the breakers on the rocky coast, as in imagina tion he makes a long cast into the surf; smells the salt marshes, while he hears the cries of the wild fowl and the whistle of the ducks' wings. By its perusal, also, the younger reader may be led to spend his vacations in the enjoyment of sports which are manly and health-giving, which engender self reliance and good-fellowship, and develop a love for Nature.
My connection with this volume was unexpected. Some time ago I sug gested to the editor of the century magazine that the various articles on hunting and angling which had appeared in that periodical should be col lected into a book. At the time I made this suggestion, I had no inten tion or desire to undertake the editing of writings describing the pursuit of game, so varied in habits and haunts that no one person could be expected to have had the requisite experience, and it was only at the solicitation of the publishers that I undertook the task. To make the work complete, several papers have been added, some of which are here printed for the first time.
