Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Angler's Reminiscences: A Record of Sport, Travel, and Adventure Charles Hallock's literary career, covering a period of sixty years - beginning with the editorship of a college paper, "The Scorpion," at Amherst, in 1852 - has been remarkable for wide range, and thorough mastery of each subject. Although angling has always been his favorite recreation his active participation in other manly outdoor sports is indicated by the title, "Dean of American Sportsmen," conferred by prominent brothers of the guild in recognition of his ability as a practical exponent of healthful pastimes, and as an author - an acknowledged authority - in this branch of literature. Turning to the brief autobiography in this volume - a classic in its special line - the reader will find some of the salient features of a life work great in achievement, varied in scope - from scientific research to current comment on the topics of the day; from sojourning in the Sunny South to pioneer jaunts in the wild West and to far-off Alaska - yet interspersed always with pursuit of the pastimes he loved, with rod and gun. His recreations - like those of "Christopher North" - furnished material for delightful sketches, standard works, scientific essays. His companions were men of action - the hardy voyageurs, at home in primitive craft on wild waters, or on foot along wild trails; ardent anglers seeking adventurous sport on salmon rivers and trout streams far from routes of ordinary tourists; scholars and scientists delving deep in the study of animated nature. That Charles Hallock is and has long been a recognized force, an accepted authority in matters pertaining to fish and fishing, science and travel, is evidenced by the fact that he is an active or honorary member of no less than fifty-seven clubs and associations, many of these being organizations of national and some of international scope. His copyrighted books are seventeen in number, and his various articles in the magazines, sportsmen's journals and daily press would, if collected in library form, fill fifty volumes of absorbing interest. The condensed summary, given elsewhere in this work, records the remarkable fact that outside of newspaper work his occupations and important experiments reached a total of sixty-seven, while his hairbreadth escapes numbered twenty-eight. As an editor, particularly in his favorite field, he possessed the qualifications to acquire the full measure of success. His literary style was here shown in its versatile character, its vigor, and perfect command of the English language. A valuable adjunct was his world-wide acquaintance with men of mark in sportsmanship and the world of letters.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Angler's Reminiscences: A Record of Sport, Travel, and Adventure Young, of Hingham, Norfolk County, England, who landed in New Haven, Conn., October 21, 1640. He subsequently received from Governor Dougan, under James II., a grant of acres of land lying between Southampton and Montauk Point. The obituary notice of William, son of Peter, the founder of the Southold Colony, who died September 30, 1684, and is so recorded, is spelled Holyoake. Through his mother he is descended from Rev. Thomas Mayhew, Governor of Nantucket and Martha's Vineyard, under a grant from Lord Sterling in 1614. Of their descendants, one branch became Quakers, and to this Fitz Greene Halleck, the poet belonged; others comprised among their numbers eminent fighting men, distinguished in the American revolution and since, both on land and sea. During the revolution Joseph Hallock fell as commander of a privateer; William Halleck commanded packet boats on Long Island Sound; another William Hallock owned and commanded a vessel sunk by the English ship Snow, and had two sons, Jeremiah and Moses, who were also soldiers of the revolution. During the Civil War many members of the family fought in support of the Union, notably Major General Henry W. Halleck. A portion of Charles Hallock's life was passed on his uncle's farm, at Plain held, in a wilderness section of the Green Mountains in Massachusetts, where he imbibe'd those tastes for. Outdoor sports and adventure which so largely shaped his course through life. In those youthful days he occupied a secluded shooting box on the estate in preference to the farm house, except in coldest winter weather. Having fitted for college at Hopkins Grammar School, in New Haven, Conn., he entered Yale in 1850, but subsequently went to Amherst, where, in 1862, during his sophomore year, he printed a college paper named the Scorpion. This seems to have been his first journalistic venture, and the taste for newspaper work then imbibed, or more probably inherited from his father, who was at that time the active head of the New York Journal of Commerce, induced him to discontinue his collegiate course of study early in the junior year and enter the printing office of his father. There he mastered the rudiments of a journalistic education. Although not a college graduate, the faculty of Amherst subsequently conferred upon him, in 1871, the degree of A. B. Extraordinary, the first honor of the kind which it had conferred. In the spring of 1855 he attached himself to the New Haven Register, and conducted that paper for a year and a half for its proprietor, M. A. Osborn, Esq., then collector of the port. In August, 1856, he accepted a salary and one sixteenth proprietary interest in the Journal of Commerce, and remained until September, 1861, when the political troubles threw him out of his chair, but not of his ownership in the paper, which at that time had increased to about one-tenth.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Notes and Reminiscences of My Life as an Angler, Vol. 1 My dear Angler Friends, - Permit me to say that whatever blame may attach to me for printing the following notes must in equity be shared with you. The work was originally meant simply to gratify my children, and to make them acquainted with one portion of their father's past life. As the manuscript proceeded, my doubts of its merit became so great that I submitted portions of it to the criticism of certain of you, my angler friends. The verdict of each has been to the effect that the manuscript possessed sufficient interest for anglers generally to warrant its publication. Highly gratified as I was, I thought this decision too friendly to be just; however, after some deliberation, a compromise has been effected, and I undertake to print my angling notes for private circulation only.
