Chocked full of stories about hunting and fishing back when America was still untamed. Hammond does a wonderful job describing the scenery of this majestic land and the beauty of this country 160 years ago. The Buffalo, elk, deer, foxes, and trout galore! Here is his record of a long trip he took with one amusing story after another.
from the preface:
There is a broad sweep of country lying between the St. Lawrence and Lake Champlain, which civilization with its improvements and its rush of progress has not yet invaded. It is mountainous, rocky, and for all agricultural purposes sterile and unproductive. It is covered with dense forests, and inhabited by the same wild things, save the red man alone, that were there thousands of years ago. It abounds in the most beautiful lakes that the sun or the stars ever shone upon.
