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.
