The content of this book is based on the author's hunting trips in the wilderness, and many excursions from time to time into the woods and fields. The author has for some years kept more or less extensive field notes and has taken numerous photographs of objects, scenes, or incidents by the way. Not all of the narrative in this book is concerned with the chase, but all have to do with,or is in some way attributable to, the wanderlust that from boyhood days has cast its spell over the author at uncertain intervals, and from time to time, has compelled a pilgrimage nearer or farther into the regions of that freedom found only where man is not.
