Excerpt from How to Hunt and Trap: Together With Chapters Upon Outfits, Guns Etc., Abounding in Information Generally for Sportsmen
To make record of my experience in form of a book, was a thing I had not thought of when I first went, heart and soul, into hunting and trapping; but friends have urged me to give my experience, and the pleasure in so doing will compensate, if nothing else results.
My boyhood was spent in Massachusetts, in the valley of the old Connecticut, where for many years my shot gun made havoc among the small game, and my traps cleared many streams of muskrats and mink.
Later, I hunted West, and at last found a camp home in the glorious Rocky Mountains, whose wild scenery and abundant game made me forget for a time that civiliza tion had any claim upon me.
Trappers and miners, Indians and half-breeds, have all been my fellow-comrades, and in roughing it with each I have lived and gloried in all the varied experiences of a hunter's and trapper's life.
