Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sportsman's Guide to the Northern Lakes: With Hints on Fishing, Hunting, and Trapping Fishing and Hunting in the Northern Summer Land, the poetry of motion, the music in the air, the thrill, the healthful exercise; what exquisite, unutterable joy! Where is the sportsman, or the pleasure tourist out for a week, who can resist the temptation to shoulder a gun and throw a line? One's mind grows fresher; memories bring back the scenes of early youth, - the brooklet, the meadow, the silvery lake and the alpine height. Yes! all of these, and myriads of game and tons of fish await your arrival in the Northern Wilderness. The great forests of Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota, bedecked by an infinite number of glistening lakes and crystal streams, together form one of the grandest pleasure gardens of the world; and there is where our little book wishes to guide those who are susceptible. Then, if we should inform you only in regard to "Points of Interest," choice localities for game and fish and the ways of getting there, you might, if not a practical sportsman, fail of "bagging" a single fowl or deer, or of catching even a trout. But no! such is not to be. You will find your game and will "bag" it too, for we have given you explicit instructions and many useful hints for sporting operations. We do not claim perfection, or that any one subject cannot be more fully treated. We have simply done our best, and hope to be encouraged by those who could, if they would, help the good work along. We shall be glad to receive criticisms if any of our readers should happen to find us in error regarding any point or subject. Our fund of information has been gathered from so many sources that it is not at all improbable that some small errors occur. To attempt a description of all the desirable points located within the bounds of the three States previously mentioned, we find entirely impossible in a work of limited scope. Therefore we have arranged in alphabetical order, an "Index to Northern Sporting and Pleasure Resorts," which will add considerably no doubt to the usefulness of our little work.
