Originally published in 1857, this most valuable and interesting
work has long been out of print and scarce, and hence not known to
the present day as its merits deserve.
While other books on similar subjects have been issued since, I
think none of them—or all combined—equal this, as a record not alone
of sport, but of travel, description of scenery, literature and
legend (for the author has recorded many most beautiful Indian
legends). The range of his journeys was from Florida to Labrador,
and from the Atlantic to the present St. Paul and Minneapolis. His
style needs no encomium from me. I prefer to quote from letters to
him from WASHINGTON IRVING and EDWARD EVERETT:
