Of the chapters of this book, three have appeared as separate
articles in _The Atlantic Monthly_, three in _The Yale Review_,
two in _The Youth's Companion_, and the others, in whole or in
part, in _St. Nicholas_, _Good Housekeeping_, and _The Christian
Endeavor World_.
_This book is dedicated to that brave and loyal adventurer, who
has shared so many everyday adventures with me--my wife._
The illustrations for this book have been made from photographs
taken by Mr. Howard T. Middleton, Mr. J. Fletcher Street, Mr.
William L. Baily, and Mr. A. D. McGrew. The author wishes to
express his appreciation here of the skill, knowledge, and
patience which have made such photographs possible. In some of
those taken by Mr. Middleton, tamed, caged, or mounted specimens
have been used as models. In others he has persuaded wild
animals to photograph themselves by various ingenious devices.
