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:
