DUCK SHOOTING 
By GEORGE BIRD GRINNELL 

“If you are wise” 

No single gunner, however wide his experi-

and most interesting book. It describes, with a 
portrait, every species of duck, goose, and swan 
known to North America; tells of the various 
methods of capturing each, the guns, ammunition, 
loads, decoys and boats used in the sport, and 
gives the best account ever published of the re- 
trieving Chesapeake Bay dog. 
About 600 pages, 58 portraits of fowl, 8 full- 
page plates, and many vignette head and tail 
pieces by Wilmot Townsend. 
Price, edition de luxe-on hand made paper, 
bound in buckram, plates on India tint paper,

A Digest of the Statutes’ 


SIXTY-THREE YEARS AGO 
“Bill” Hamilton, then 20 years of age, set out from St. 
Louis, Mo., with seven other free trappers under the 
leadership of old Bill Williams. Seven of these eight 
men are dead, but Hamilton still lives out in Montana

early trapping days and the book has been published. 
It 1s called 
MY SIXTY YEARS ON 
THE PLAINS © 
By W. T. HAMILTON 
It tells of trapping, trading, Indian fighting, hunting, 
and all the many and varied incidents of the trappers 
life. It is full of adventure and excitement, but the sto: 
is told modestly, and there is nothing in it that is lurid. 
Amid much fighting, there is nothing that can be called 
“blood and thunder,” but there is much that is history. 
The book has all the charm of the old volumes, telling 
of early travel in the West; books which were simple 
and direct, and in which there was no striving for effeet. 
It is illustrated by a portrait of the author and one of 
the celebrated Chief Washaki, and by six drawings of old- 
time trapper and Indian life, by Mr. Charles M. Russell, 
the celebrated cowboy artist of Great Falls, Montana.

ROWLAND E. ROBINSON’S 
Danvis Books. 
These books have taken their place as classics in the 
literature of New England village and woods life. Mr 
Robinson’s characters are peculiar, quaint and lovable, 
one reads of them now with smiles and now with tears 
(and need not be ashamed to own to the tears). Mr. 
Robinson writes of nature with marvelous insight; his is 
the ready word, the phrase, to make a bit of landscape, a 
scene of outdoors, stand out clear and vivid like a 
startling flashiug out from the reader’s own memory.

Men I Have Fished With. 
Sketches of character and incident with rod and gun from 
childhood to manhood; from the killing of little fishes 
and birds to a buffalo hunt. By Fred Mather. Illus- 
trated. Price, $2.00. 
It was a happy thought that prompted Mr. Fred Mather 
to write of his fishing companions. The chapters were 
received with a warm welcome at the beginning, and 
have been of sustained interest. The “‘Men I Have 
Fishel With’ was among the most popular series of 
papers ever presented to FOREST AND STREAM readers.
