 Mr. Van Dyke uses the pen as skillfully as the gun." Providence

 full and truthful technical account of our Southern California game 

 afoot, afloat or on the wing." San Francisco Alia California. 



"It is written as such a book should be written. ... It ex- 

 hibits the sportsman's observation of nature, and his unflagging 

 good spirits the result of both being a breezy, dewey book.

A very successful attempt to combine the interest of a novel 

 with the more practical features of an authoritative work on the 

 hunting and fishing of a country celebrated among sportsmen.

A thoroughly enjoyable book. The writer's descriptions of 

 hunting, fishing and sporting in pursuit of the smaller kinds of 

 game, are racy and vivid, and there is just enough love-making 

 woven in with the wild life to give it additional zest." Phila- 

 delphia Inquirer. [OVER.
