Excerpt from My Woodland Intimates It is through this quiet, secluded, eastern New Jersey haunt and its immediate neighborhood, that I ask you to stroll with me now and then, as the months succeed each other and our feath ered visitors come and go. Occasionally, as we rest or saunter, you will permit me to relate to you incidents that concern a wider range of terri tory, and for our closing interview I would trans port you to a beloved nook among the Laurentian Mountains of Canada: a blessed spot where the noisy voice of progress has not yet been heard, and where nature speaks without let or hin drance.
