Book excerpt: Excerpt from By Loch and Stream: Angling Sketches I have spent many days by Loch and Stream, every one of them a happy memory, distinguished in some manner, though not necessarily by a heavy creel, and I have set myself the pleasant task of describing these in the hope that other anglers will be reminded of similar days in their experience. Some little incident noted will perhaps awake the memory of some almost forgotten day, and whenever such activity commences it may continue and produce contentment throughout a weary close season. I venture to give some advice as to methods and lures, not deductions from haphazard or insufficient experiments, but conclusions reached after many years on many waters, tested again and again until doubt is removed. I indicate many localities in Scotland where satisfactory sport may be expected, but it will be observed that many rivers and lochs of the highest angling value are not mentioned. That, of course, is inevitable. I should be most unhappy if there were left no unfamiliar waters to fish, but, as long as I may, I shall seek them out, reduce their number all I can, and endeavour to make their fame more widely known. The expert may find some things which do not receive his approval. I hope so. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book My Remarkable Uncle written by Stephen Leacock and published by New Canadian Library. This book was released on 2010-08-03 with total page 274 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This celebrated collection of sketches sparkles with Stephen Leacock’s humour and shines with the warmth of his wit. The comical E.P., star of the title essay, “My Remarkable Uncle,” is a classic Leacock character. He is president of a railway with a letterhead but no rails, and he heads a bank that boasts credit but no cash whatsoever – all of which trouble E.P. not in the least. My Remarkable Uncle, a wonderful smorgasbord of mirth served up by a master of comedy, includes several essays, a short story, a political parable, and personal reflections on a dizzying array of subjects. Here, in rich abundance, are the inspired nonsense and the unerring eye for human folly that have made Stephen Leacock Canada’s most celebrated humorist.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This innovative study re-examines the dynamics of race relations in the post–Civil War South from an altogether fresh perspective: field sports. In the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, wealthy white men from Southern cities and the industrial North traveled to the hunting and fishing lodges of the old Confederacy—escaping from the office to socialize among like-minded peers. These sportsmen depended on local black guides who knew the land and fishing holes and could ensure a successful outing. For whites, the ability to hunt and fish freely and employ black laborers became a conspicuous display of their wealth and social standing. But hunting and fishing had been a way of life for all Southerners—blacks included—since colonial times. After the war, African Americans used their mastery of these sports to enter into market activities normally denied people of color, thereby becoming more economically independent from their white employers. Whites came to view black participation in hunting and fishing as a serious threat to the South’s labor system. Scott E. Giltner shows how African-American freedom developed in this racially tense environment—how blacks' sense of competence and authority flourished in a Jim Crow setting. Giltner’s thorough research using slave narratives, sportsmen’s recollections, records of fish and game clubs, and sporting periodicals offers a unique perspective on the African-American struggle for independence from the end of the Civil War to the 1920s.
