AMERICAN 
GAME BIRD 
SHOOTING 
By George Bird Grinnell 
This large and profusely illus¬ 
trated volume covers the whole 
field of upland shooting in Amer¬ 
ica. It deals with the birds fol¬ 
lowed by the upland shooter 
with dog and gun, and gives prac¬ 
tically everything that is known 
about the woodcock, the snipe, all 
the North American quail, grouse 
and wild turkeys. This is its 
scheme: 
Part I—Life histories of upland 
game birds; many portraits. 
Part II—Upland shooting, and 
also guns, loads, dogs, clothing. 
Part III—Shooting of the fu¬ 
ture, ruffed grouse, quail, etc. 
There arc life-like colored plates 
of the ruffed grouse and quail, and 
48 other full-page plates, with 
many line cuts in the text. 
The book is really the last word 
on upland shooting, and this is 
what some of the authorities think 
of it: 
“It is, I think, a model of what 
such a book should be—but so sel¬ 
dom is. It is, indeed, much more 
than a treatise on field sports, for 
it furnishes such full and excellent 
life histories of the birds of which 
it treats that it should find a place 
in every library devoted to pjire 
ornithology.”—William Brewster, 
Cambridge, Mass. 
“A very complete monograph for 
sportsmen and naturalists 
with anecdotes, of his own and 
others . . The book will be 
enjoyed not only by sportsmen, but 
by the general reader.”— Sun, New 
York. 
“An important, thoroughly reli¬ 
able and well written book; a work 
that will be read with interest and 
pleasure by sportsmen. The work 
is the first complete one of its 
kind .”—Boston Globe. 
“This volume is especially wel¬ 
come—a treat to every man who 
loves to tramp the uplands with 
dog and gun.”— Inter-Ocean, Chi¬ 
cago. 
This book is a companion vol¬ 
ume to American Duck Shooting, 
and the two cover practically the 
whole subject of field shooting 
with the shotgun in North Amer¬ 
ica. 
Illustrated, cloth. About 575 pages.

Zane Grey has written many fine 
books, but here is the best of them all. 
He has written of wonderful horses 
before, but Wildfire outruns them all. 
He has written often of men and 
women who loved adventure and had 
their fill of it, but here in this story 
of a Centaur community the adven¬ 
tures and passions of his characters 
are as natural in the wild country in 
which they lived as the adventures 
and passions told of primitive peoples 
in fabled Greece.

Are You A Duck Shooter? 
Do you love to stand in the bow of your 
skiff as it is pushed through the wild rice, and 
drop the ducks that get up within range; or, 
if you live by the big waters, do you enjoy 
sitting in the blind while cold winds blow and 
ice forms at the edge of the shore, watching 
the sky and waiting for something to come 
to your decoys? If you love these things, if 
you will bear work, exposure and hardship 
to get a shot, you need 
AMERICAN DUCK SHOOTING 
By GEORGE BIRD GRINNELL 
It gives descriptions and portraits of all the 
ducks and geese known in North America; 
tells where they are found; the various meth¬ 
ods practiced in shooting them; describes the 
guns, loads, clothing, boats and dogs em¬ 
ployed in their pursuit, and generally is far 
and away the most complete, useful and en¬ 
tertaining volume on the subject that has ever 
been published. It covers the whole field of 
North American wild-fowl shooting. 
The book is profusely illustrated. Not only 
has it ornithologically exact portraits of 58 
species of swans, geese and ducks, but it has 
eight half-tone reproductions of some of our 
best-known wild ducks from the paintings of 
the great naturalist, Audubon, a number of 
full-page sketches by Wilmot Townsend, whose 
drawings of wild-fowl are inimitable, many 
cuts of duck boats and batteries, and fifty 
vignettes in the text, which add to its beauty 
and its usefulness. It is a complete, illustrated 
manual of this fascinating sport.
