THE 
HUNTER AND TRAPPER. 
HALSEY THRASHER, 
AN EXPERIENCED HUNTER. 
ILLUSTRATED. 
This little book will be read with interest by all who 
would find instruction and entertainment in the narrative 
of an old hunter’s experience. The following, from the 
author’s Preface, will give an idea of the character and 
design of the work: 
“ I am a blacksmith by trade, but when I was a hoy I 
became fond of a gun and a trap, and my first success in 
my shop was to make a steel trap. It was my aim to 
become an expert trapper, and I tried my hand at catch¬ 
ing foxes. 
“ Many a dollar have I paid to cunning old men to learn 
the art, and I have succeeded pretty well, too ; hut why 
has not some man of experience written a book explain¬ 
ing the art of successfully trapping the different kinds of 
fur animals ? I propose to tell the hoys how to do it. 
“I have studied the nature and habits of animals of 
different species, and a plan that was good to capture the 
otter, the mink, and the beaver, forty years ago, is just 
as good now as then. The nature of animals doesn’t 
change like the nature of men; we have grown wiser, 
while they have remained the same. The mode of cap¬ 
turing them when I was a hoy, and the way used now, 
may he put together, and succeed better than either one 
alone. 
“ Men are traveling through the country selling recipes 
at a high price to teach how to dress skins. I propose in 
this work to teach all these things, so that a man may 
have them in a neat little volume for reference at any 
time. I shall also treat upon angling for the trout, the 
bass, and the pickerel, which I think I understand. I 
hope to make it all so plain that even the inexperienced 
will, in some measure, succeed.”
