A Hunter S Adventures In The Great West Classic Reprint

Excerpt from A Hunter's Adventures in the Great West Almost in the centre of the vast continent of North America is situated an immense extent of country called Montana, the interior of which was but little known a few years since beyond what had been gathered from information afforded by adventurous white trappers, Indian traders, and small surveying parties in search of possible rail or telegraph routes from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. Although this is now a portion of the United States, it is more than probable that, from its geographical position, the absence of navigable rivers, the roughness of its surface, and the hostility of the aborigines, it will still be many years before the advance of civilisation materially affects it; for it does not hold out to the emigrant those inducements which promise remuneration for the cultivation of the earth.

Excerpt from Hunting Sports in the West: Comprising Adventures of the Most Celebrated Hunters and Trappers This collection of stories is designed to exhibit the western hunters and trappers in their true character. The narratives are all matters of fact and not of fancy, and they have been selected from a great mass of a similar character, on a principle of choice, which the compiler believes will be approved by his readers; the principle, namely, of displaying all the different phases of the western hunter's perilous and adventurous life, as far as was practicable in so small a space. The reader, it is believed, will find in the volume a sufficient amount of novelty and variety, to repay him for the time spent in perusing its pages; and he will, probably, on closing it, come to the same conclusion which the compiler arrived at long since, namely, that hunting adventures with bears, panthers, wild cats, and other animals of a similar description, are, on the whole.

This carefully crafted ebook: "THE GOLD HUNTERS (A Western Mystery Classic)” is formatted for your eReader with a functional and detailed table of contents. Three men wish to try out their luck in finding a hidden treasure in the unyielding Canadian Wilderness while a young Indian Princess is kidnapped for this purpose. Excerpt: "It was that hour when the old hunter on the trail takes off his pack, silently gathers wood for a fire, eats his dinner and smokes his pipe, eyes and ears alert;—that hour when if you speak above a whisper, he will say to you, "Sh-h-h-h! Be quiet! You can't tell how near we are to game. Everything has had its morning feed and is lying low. The game won't be moving again for an hour or two, and there may be moose or caribou a gunshot ahead. We couldn't hear them—now!" James Oliver Curwood was an American action-adventure writer and conservationist. His books ranked among top-ten best sellers in the United States and at least eighteen motion pictures have been based on or directly inspired by his novels and short stories. At the time of his death, he was the highest paid (per word) author in the world. His writing studio, Curwood Castle, is now a museum in Owosso, Michigan.
