Book Description

Excerpt from The National Collection of Heads and Horns, Vol. 1 To know thoroughly the horn-bearing mammals of the world is to know the world also. Savage races of men may be, and usually are, easily spoiled by contact with modern civilization, and the natural edge of native character is quickly lost by contact with the grinding wheels of modern life and thought. But not so the wild animals. Contact with man only serves to sharpen their wits, point their perceptive powers, and stimulate new lines of thought and action making for self-preservation.
