BUFFALO HUNTING. 81 



If the reader be a dweller in any part of the civilised 

 earth, and a sportsman of means, I sincerely advise 

 him to essay a trip to the plains for buffalo shooting ; 

 but if he be a resident of old England, and a fol- 

 lower of Nimrod, then his remissness in not prov- 

 ing America's sporting resources is unpardonable. The 

 duke, marquis, or baron, may have his grand preserves 

 well stocked with game, and well protected; but the 

 American has the indigenous buffalo roaming in a state 

 of nature over his original haunts, a description of 

 game so noble that in no portion of the world can his 

 superior be found.
