The learned writer, scientist and sportsman, Col. W. U. Pickett, better 

 known as " P.," says of this book : " The true lover of nature who delights 

 to occasionally escape from the annoyances and worriments inseparable 

 from so-called civilized life, and to wander amid scenes that tell only of the 

 infinite power, the beneficence, and the grandeur of the Great Ruler; who 

 delights to worship in the grandest of all His temples the mountains; who 

 realizes and feels His presence on every mountain peak, in every dark 

 canyon, in every rushing wind, In every gentle zephyr, and who, amid such 

 scenes, above all realizes his own weakness and littleness; he it is who will 

 take pleasure in following the author amid some of the grandest and most 

 beautiful scenery on this continent." 



Mr. T S. Van Dyke, author o): "The Still Hunter," and other popular 

 books, says : " It is one of the most entertaining books on field sports yet 

 published. Mr. Saields always has something to say, and says it in a way 

 that makes one see it. He is never dull, and there is an air of truth about 

 his work that fully satisfies the reader." 



Mr. Orin Relknap, known an! loved of all sportsmen by his familiar 

 pseudonym of " Uncle Fuller," says: " The author of this work has placed 

 the sportsmen of America under lasting obligations by his pleasing descrip- 

 tions of his adventures in the wills of these little-known mountains." 



" In all that pertains to exploration, the wild journeys into wild places, 

 the dangerous ascent of rugged peaks and no less perilous descent into 

 obscure valleys, hitherto untrodden by the foot of man, the lungs expanded 

 with deep breaths of untainted air, the blood bounding with sudden pros- 

 pects and unexpected discoveries, the keen feeling of full and abundant life 

 and the nearness of the great heart of nature in all this the author wins, 

 and deserves to win, the hearty sympathy of readers of every cast of 

 thought, opinion and condition."- -Bedford's Magazine. 



Says W. IJ. Leffiugwell, the gitted author of " Wild Fowl Shooting," and 

 of "Shooting on Upland, Field, and Marsh : " "I have rarely encountered, 

 anywhere, such vivid descriptions of life in the mountains as are found in 

 ' Crusings in the Cascades.' " 



" Men who enjoy jaunts into the woods in search of big game will find 

 this book extremely interesting." New York Herald. 



"'Cruisings in tiie Cascades' is by far the best thing Coquina has ever 

 written." American Field. 



"It is a handsomely printed and finely illustrated volume, made up of 

 spirited sketches of travels, explorations, hunting and fishing. It is charm- 

 ingly interesting. The author' mingles solid facts of great value with 

 accounts of his wild adventures, and tells the story with an off-hand style 

 that banishes sleep from tired eyes." Chicago Inter -Ocean. 



" 'Cruisings in the Cascades' is Mr. Shields' latest, and, we think, best 

 publication. It will be heartily appreciated by American sportsmen." 

 Shouting and Fishing. 



"The pages are breezy and the illustrations numerous and attractive, 

 the camera having been freely used by the author in his travels." Turf, 

 Field and Farm. 



" Mr. Shields is not only a hunter, but an angler,"and an amateur photo- 

 grapher, and on his excursions in the mountains has made good use of his 

 opportunities. As a narrative of adventure the book is entertaining, and as 

 a record of sport it will delight many readers." Tlie Literary World, 



" It is sure to meet with a large sale." Chicago Tribune. 



" It is by all odds the most fascinating book on big game hunting ever 

 published." The Journalist.
