Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sporting Adventures in the Far West Having been a wanderer for nearly seven years in the Par West, a part of the time being ere railways were known i there, and when very few whites, except the troops, were found in regions which now boast of thousands, I devoted particular attention to studying the fauna of the country, especially the game, whether it was fur, fin, or feather. My object in preparing this work has been to give the general characteristics, the haunts, habits, and the best method of hunting the largest class of game; and as my facts are derived from personal experience, and from that of some of the most famous scouts and hunters I met in the West, I hope they may be found generally accurate. The contests between men and the fiercer creatures which are related were, when I do not speak personally, heard around the camp fire or in the Indians wigwam, and one or two were culled from Western newspapers. Having no desire to pose as a Nimrod, I may say that some of my hunting was as much for the purpose of studying the fer nature as for killing them, and that their life was frequently more pleasing to me than their death.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wild Sports in the Far West ON my return, a short time since, to my native land, from the wilds of America, it was not at first my intention to offer to the public the contents of the diary I had kept during my travels, and written out in detail as an employment for my leisure hours, for the exclusive use of my family in Germany. Incited, however, by the interest awakened by the publication of a few extracts in one of our periodicals, and yielding to the wishes expressed by various friends who had read the remainder, I undertook to correct and revise my notes, and to mould into a continuous narrative a diary which I had only kept when circumstances worthy of being chronicled arose, - for instance, on the voyage out, on my march through the United States, during my sojourn among the swamps of Arkansas, and finally during my hunting trip in the Ozark moun tains.

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.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Wild Sports of the West: Interspersed With Legendary Tales, and Local Sketches Some explanation may be necessary for obtruding upon the public the private details of a Sportsman's life, and particularly when the scene of his exploits is laid within the four seas of Britain. In the customary course of field adventure, few besides the individual concerned are much interested in the successes and disappointments he experiences; and rural sports are, in all their general incidents, so essentially alike, as to render their minute description almost invariably a dull and unprofitable record.

Download or read book The Young Nimrods in North America written by Thomas Wallace Knox and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-10 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Young Nimrods in North America: A Book for Boys Nimrods has endeavored to instruct the boys of America in the ways of the hunter's life. He has made use of his own experience among the wild animals of our forests and plains, and has also drawn freely from the accounts of others. He has sought to amuse as well as to instruct, and hopes that the favor that has been extended to his work in other directions will be accorded to the present effort. A fair amount of natural history has been interwoven with the stories of hunting and fishing; it has been the writer's aim to convey informa tion in such form that it would not be open tothe charge of dulness and prolixity, and to this end the dialogue form has been freely introduced. How far he has succeeded in this endeavor he leaves the reader to de termine. The illustrations have been taken from previous publications of Har per Brothers, but in all instances they have been carefully chosen with a view to the correct representation of the objects described. The an thor is specially indebted to General Marcy's Army Life on the Bor der, both for illustrations and for descriptions of certain phases of fron tier life which that veteran officer has so graphically delineated. He is also under obligations to Mr. Murphy's Sporting Adventures in the Far West, and to the accounts of life in the buffalo land by Mr. Theodore R. Davis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 'WILD WEST Boxed Set: 150+ Western Classics in One Volume' is an expansive anthology that brings together a diverse array of literature encapsulating the essence and mythos of the American West. This collection spans a broad range of literary styles, from the gritty realism of frontier life to romanticized tales of adventure and conflict, offering readers an unparalleled exploration of the genre. Within its pages, iconic narratives coalesce with lesser-known gems, providing a rich tapestry of the cultural, moral, and existential themes that have shaped the American identity. The inclusion of seminal works by this esteemed cohort highlights the anthology's significance as an encompassing repository of Western literary tradition. The contributing authors and editors of this anthology are titans of American literature and art, each bringing their unique perspective and voice to the theme of the Western frontier. From Twain's keen wit to London's raw depiction of nature and human endurance, the collection is a cross-section of American literary greatness. These authors collectively represent a wide array of historical, cultural, and literary movements, from the romanticism of the early 19th century to the realism and naturalism that followed. Their contributions illuminate the complexities of frontier life, reflecting both the brutality and the beauty of the Wild West, thereby enriching readers understanding of this pivotal era in American history. This anthology is a must-read for anyone with an interest in American literature, history, or culture. It offers readers a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the variegated narratives that have shaped the mythos of the American West. Through its comprehensive scope and the multitude of voices it encompasses, the collection succeeds in fostering a dialogue between different epochs, perspectives, and literary styles. For scholars, enthusiasts, and casual readers alike, this boxed set is an invaluable resource for understanding the evolution of Western literature and its enduring influence on the American imagination.
