Book Description

Excerpt from Big Game Fields of America, North and South: Illustrated From Photographs by the Author and Three Drawings by Charles Livingston Bull What I have actually seen of wildlife during a good many big game hunting trips in North and South America, from Alaska to the equator, is the theme of this book. Most of the ac counts were penciled in the shooting tent or even on moonlit nights while awaiting some night prowler. In two chapters I have attempted to give with some exactitude the natural history of the black bear and the jaguar, the two animals which in captivity and the open I have most carefully studied, but in general my obj ect is to present as clearly as possible the human side of the sport the greatest Sport in the world. If it proves that I am successful in taking my reader with me, through mountains and jungle, and if I make of the reader a convert to the life of the open, I shall be glad, for I know of noth ing that gives so much and asks so little as nature.
