The learned writer, scientist, and sportsman, Col. W. D. 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. If, added to this, the reader should be imbued with some 

 of the tastes and sympathies of the sportsman, additional zest will be given in the 

 pleasant, graphic, and truthful descriptions of fishing and hunting incidents. The 

 young sportsman who is desirous of hunting large game, will find many indispensable 

 hints as to their habits and the best methods of pursuing them. This book will meet 

 with universal favor." 



Mr. T. S. Van Dyke, author of "The Still Hunter," and other popular books, 

 says: " It is one ot the most entertaining books on field sports yet published. Mr. 

 Shields 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 Belknap, known and 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 descriptions of his adventures in 

 the wilds of these little-known mountains. Any writer who calls the attention of 

 American sportsmen to the wonderful opportunities for legitimate sport — worth a 

 trip across the continent, or a life-time of the tame enjoyment of Eastern sportsman- 

 ship — hidden away in the mysterious gorges of the Cascade range, deserves the thanks 

 of each and all who ever shouldered gun or rod. May this book prompt others of 

 America's adventurous lovers of the wilderness to more thorough search for the hid- 

 den wonders of these mighty hills." 



"Boone," the writer of so many charming reminiscences of days among the 

 hills, says of this book: "To the reader whose calling in life, or whose personal 

 limitations shut him off from the privileges enjoyed by Mr. Shields, there is given in 

 these pages descriptions of scenery so vivid as to enable him to realize the grandeur 

 in nature of the land that gives us birth. There are given him descriptions and traits 

 of animals, in their wild state and in their native haunts, that he may never see save in 

 collections. Let me commend it to all into whose hands this book may come — and 

 they ought to be many — to give it a careful, not a cursory reading. On second, 

 and attentive reading, I was really struck by the accuracy of the author's descrip- 

 tions of the bison, elk, antelope, grizzly bear, and mountain goat; and the delinea- 

 tions from his little camera make the whole work graphic indeed." 



" Sillalicum," another well-known and popular contributor to the sportsmen's 

 journals, has this to say: "Mr. Shields evidently saw everything that could interest 

 the sportsman, farmer, lumberman, or tourist, and has described the country and 

 its objects of interest in an interesting, truthful way, with the eloquence of the artist, 

 and the enthusiasm of the sportsman. No book ever published on Western sports 

 is so delightfully written. A perus il of its pages places the reader among the scenes 

 described, and he imagines himself looking at the rushing schools of salmon; he hears 

 the murmuring of the mountain stream; the whispering of the alpine zephyr; and
