Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Hunter's Guide, and Trapper's Companion: A Complete Guide The publishers of this work having had for several years frequent calls for a reliable and complete Guide to Hunting and Trapping, &c., and as there has been no cheap work in the market and but one or two works on the subject at any price, have determined to publish the present work with a view to supply the demands of their own trade and also to furnish the public a work at once cheap and reliable. In a work of this size and price it is of course impossible to give at length all the various and diverse methods, but its author has endeavored to give the best and most successful methods as followed by old and experienced hunters and trappers who have made trapping their business through life. The author has availed himself of many facts from various works on Natural History, and while in many points imperfections will be found, yet, as a whole, he trusts this work will be for its size and price the best work on the subject. This work is designed for those who have not had extensive experience, but those who have made a business of trapping and hunting will find it of value. With the hope that it will prove of value to every reader it is presented to the public. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Complete Hunter's and Sportsman's Manual and Trapper's Guide It is simply a volume of suggestions (not for the professional or skilled hunter) but for those of equal enthusiasm, but less experience; and as it is next to impossible for me to go deeply into the subject of hunting or trapping all kinds of game, in a volume of this size, the reader will I trust, par don its shortcomings in this respect, and accept quality in lieu of quantity, facts instead of stories of personal experiences.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Trapper, Vol. 2 Nearly all hunters, through some dexterity of natural endowment, unconsciously become specialists. One man sees beaver signs where another sees only deer. For Ba'tiste, the page of nature spelled b-e-a-ri Fifteen bear in a winter is a wonderfully good season's work for any trapper. Ba'tiste's record for one lucky winter was fifty-four. After that he was known as the bear hunter. Such a reputation affects keen hunters differently. The Indian grows cautious almost to cowardice. Ba'tiste grew rash. He would follow a wounded grisly to cover. He would afterward laugh at the episode as a joke if the wounded brute had treed him. For sure, good t'ing dat was not de prairie dat tam, he would say, flinging down the pelt of his foe. The other trappers with Indian blood in their veins might laugh, but they shook their heads when his back was turned.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life and Adventures of Nat Foster: Trapper and Hunter of the Adirondacks In writing this book, I have not catered to the novel reader or sensational book worm. A "plot" could have been introduced, and, weaving it into the fabric of the whole, the work could have been easily changed from the historical to the romantic, and a good novel made; so I have been told by a few of my friends, who have done me the kindness to examine the MSS., or have submitted to the ordeal of having some of it read to them. But it is in no sense a work of fiction. It is a faithful account of the life and adventures of a character familiar to sportsmen and others who frequent the Adirondacks. It has been my endeavor to collect and put in form the numerous stories and anecdotes told by one of the pioneers of New York State; though in my desire to vindicate the qualities of Nat Foster, I have given considerable not actually identified with his adventures, but having a bearing on his life. The hardy race of men who followed the chase for a livelihood in the wilds of Northern New York, has passed away. With the men has gone the knowledge of many of their exciting adventures.

This book was released on 2018-02 with total page 318 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Scenes With the Hunter and the Trapper in Many Lands: Or Stories of Adventures With Wild Animals It seems to me, therefore, that a book recording some of the most stirring achievements of men in their prolonged contest with wild animals may be not only interesting but useful - that it will not only amuse but teach. It is some thing gained when a boy learns to prize and imitate the manly virtues; and such stories as are set forth in the fol lowing pages will help the young reader to this valuable lesson. They are all true stories, and I have carefully re frained from embroidering them with sensational details. Collected from a variety of sources, they are necessarily diversified in tone and character; but not one of them is unwholesome reading. For the sake of securing a certain degree of homogeneity, I have strung them together on a simple thread of narration, suggested by a boyish experience of my own. Further, they are associated with the chief facts in the natural history of the animals to which they relate; so that, to some extent, my little book may be ex pected to quicken its reader's interest in zoological studies. But, of course, it is intended to solicit the patronage of the juvenile public primarily and chiefly as a record of Adventures with Wild Animals.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tony Alexander's Practical Hunter's Trapper's Guide: The Secrets of the Art Told by an Experienced Trapper in His Own Way to the Hunters Trappers of America Although books on nearly every kind of sport and the nature and habits of game are numerous enough, very few of them are the work of men of actual practical experience who have made a business of hunting and trapping animals. These books, for the most part, have been prepared by gentlemen with little practice and abundant theory - theory which continues to prove fatal to the success of the earnest sportsman until he makes up his mind to rely on his own practically acquired knowledge, which generally serves him a thousand times better.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hunting Sports in the West: Comprising Adventures of the Most Celebrated Hunters and Trappers This collection of stories is designed to exhibit the western hunters and trappers in their true character. The narratives are all matters of fact and not of fancy, and they have been selected from a great mass of a similar character, on a principle of choice, which the compiler believes will be approved by his readers; the principle, namely, of displaying all the different phases of the western hunter's perilous and adventurous life, as far as was practicable in so small a space. The reader, it is believed, will find in the volume a sufficient amount of novelty and variety, to repay him for the time spent in perusing its pages; and he will, probably, on closing it, come to the same conclusion which the compiler arrived at long since, namely, that hunting adventures with bears, panthers, wild cats, and other animals of a similar description, are, on the whole.

Download or read book City Boys in the Woods written by Henry P. Wells and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 300 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from City Boys in the Woods: Or a Trapping Venture in Maine Books of hunting and trapping adventure for the young are superabundant. But whence do most of them derive their inspiration? Certainly not from nature. The toils and privations which are the certain and continuous daily incidents of such a life are usually glozed over or ignored altogether, while purely imaginary, or at best very infrequent, cases of good-fortune are grouped together and follow one another as though of every-day occurrence. The impression so produced on the minds of the young is an absolutely false impression. That it is pernicious as well, the police records of every large city bear witness. Hardly a week passes in which lads, beguiled by such books, are not arrested on their way to kill Indians and hunt buffaloes in the far West. This book is the outcome of a suggestion that a story truthfully portraying the actual life of the hunter and trapper would be timely. The author has succeeded or failed in his purpose, in the exact proportion in which he succeeds or fails in impressing on the minds of his readers the truth that a special education is as necessary to a life in the wilderness as it is to navigate that other wilderness the boundless ocean.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Jack the Young Trapper: An Eastern Boy's Fur Hunting in the Rocky Mountains A century ago the western half of the American Continent was unknown. Vast herds of buffalo and antelope swarmed over its rolling plains; elk and deer fed along its rivers; wild sheep and white goats clambered over its rocky heights; bears prowled through its forests; beavers built their dams and houses along every stream. Occasionally a group of Indians passed over the plains or threaded the defiles of the mountain ranges. A few years later the white man began to penetrate this wilderness. Beaver were growing scarcer, and men were forced to go further for them. So the trapper entered these unknown fastnesses and began his work. He followed up stream after stream, sought out remote valleys, crossed deserts. With rifle in one hand and trap in the other, he endured every hardship and exposed himself to every danger. He swam rivers, climbed mountains, fought Indians, and risked life in his struggle for fur. They were men of firm courage and stern resolution, those trappers of the early days. About their life and their work there is a romance and a charm that appeal powerfully to the imagination. Jack Danvers was fortunate in that the man who taught him some of the secrets of that now forgotten life was one who had borne a part in the work of subduing the wild west, and in laying the foundations upon which its present civilization is built.
