H FOLLOWING 
THE DEER 
by sportsmen as well as by those who have 
xviii 
learned to " name the birds without a 
gun'' If his cunning and splendid courage 
appeal to other boys — boys of twenty and 
boys of sixty who whoop with delight and 
find new life in the Northern woods every 
autumn — as they appealed to the boy 
that first followed him, then this little 
book will have done its work. Our hunt- 
ing will be more tempered with humanity, 
and even in our hunting we shall find 
more joy in the life than in the death of 
the wild things,
