Literature of American Big-Game Hunting 
The faunal natural histories, from the days of 
Audubon and Bachman to those of Hart Merriam, 
must likewise be included; and, in addition, no 
lover of nature would willingly be without the 
works of those masters of American literature who 
have written concerning their wanderings in the 
wilderness, as Parkman did in his “ Oregon Trail,” 
and Irving in his “ Tour on the Prairies” ; while the 
volumes of Burroughs and Thoreau have of course 
a unique literary value for every man who cares for 
outdoor life in the woods and fields and among 
the mountains.
