—Spokesman Review.
“An excellent work.... The book is fascinating in its descriptions and furnishes another proof that if truth is not stranger than fiction, it is at least more interesting.”—The Independent.
“The volume is most entertaining and wholesome. It is filled with the atmosphere of the wide open outdoors and it ought to appeal to everybody who has a drop of red blood in his veins.”
—Brooklyn Times.
“All the beauty and glory of life in the open permeate this book. It is a book for live boys, for active men, for every Diana spirit chained to domestic or professional task, for all Americans keen for adventure, and zestful for nature truths.... This is a genuine hunter-naturalist’s narrative. Its historical and scientific facts are savored with the spice of the camp-fire story-teller’s style.”
—Philadelphia Public Ledger.
“This book should grace the library of every true American.”
—Portland (Oregon) Evening Telegram.
