PREFACE ix 



wilderness folks have been seen by those who 

 move through the woods slowly and who go fre- 

 quently to the same place these are the joys of 

 waiting in the wilderness. 



A number of the chapters in this book have 

 been used by The American Boy, Country Life in 

 America, and The Youth's Companion, and I ap- 

 preciate the courtesy of the editors of these 

 magazines in allowing me to reprint this ma- 

 terial.
