PREFACE. 



The following pages, descriptive of different inci- 

 dents in a Hunter's life, are selections from the 

 journal of a wanderer over many lands, wbicli, hav- 

 ing excited a certain degree of interest amongst a 

 class who have themselves participated in similar 

 scenes, the Author has laid before the Public ; in 

 the hope that some of his comrades, many of whom 

 are " mighty hunters," and abler with the pen than 

 himself, will follow his example, and disseminate 

 the knowledge they have acquired by experience 

 during their sojourn in "the pathless woods," as 

 their accounts cannot fail to be of intense interest 

 to their brother sportsmen, and a great assistance 

 to the uninitiated who aaay wish to follow in their 

 footsteps.
