 " I am glad to learn that you intend to publish your narrative 

 and descriptiA^e writings in a collective form. They carry us into 

 the fastness of our mountains, the depths of our forests, the watery 

 wilderness of our lakes and rivers, giving us pictures of savage 

 life and savage tribes, Indians' legends, fishing and hunting anec- 

 dotes, the adventures of trappers and backwoodsmen, our whole 

 arcanum, in short, of indigenous poetry and romance, to use a 

 favorite phrase of the old discoverers, they lay open the secrets 

 of the country to us. I cannot but believe your work will be 

 well received, and meet with the wide circulation which it as- 

 suredly merits." 



[^Hear what the Press sag of it.} 



" We have seldom seen a writer who could depict natural 

 scenery more gracefully than Mr. Lanman. He seems to have 

 that genuine love for nature in all her changing aspects, which 

 suffers none of the lighter touches that characterize a beautiful 

 landscape to escape him." — N. Y. Tribune. 



" Mr. Lanman is an agreeable writer — his descriptions of 

 scenery and sporting scenes are equal to those of any American 

 author. He has an ardent love for the grandeur of Nature in her 

 primitive wildness ; and endeavors to seek out sports where ordi- 

 nary travellers do not find their way. The rod and gun are his 

 companions in his solitary journeys, and Izaak Walton himself 

 was not a more devoted angler than Lanman." — Providence 

 Journal. 



" This is a pleasant addition to the Sporting Literature of the 

 day ; not a sportsman's library in the United States but ought 

 to contain it." — National Intelligencer.
