Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Three Trappers: A Story of Adventure in the Wilds of Canada The writer wishes to point out that, although the incidents which he has introduced into the following pages are such as might be supposed likely enough to occur some years since, the advance of civilization has already rendered them inappropriate to the earlier scenes of the story. There is, for example, now-a-days no danger of being waylaid by Black feet near the Forks of the Saskatchewan. The buffalo has become almost extinct. A few scattered herds still survive among the foothills and parks of the Rocky Mountains, but such scenes as that on page 99 are things of the past. Ceaseless, senseless slaughter has at last reduced the once innumerable herds of buffaloes to a straggling handful. It is a question if more than one herd now exists in the United States.
