Excerpt from Recollections of My Fifty Years Hunting and FishingThe better reason mayhap Why I have undertaken to tell these stories is that in the years to come com parison can be made with the past and future, and even the contrast of today with those days I have written about is so great that the younger sportsman will marvel. Then again the history of the brook trout in Michigan should be preserved. We have much writ ten about the grayling; nothing of the introduction of the brook trout; and how few anglers of today know that this fish was not native to the streams of the Lower Peninsula where now it is found. Little has before been written about hunting the Michigan wild turkey. I have not said much of the wild pigeon for I covered that subject about as fully as I could in The Passenger Pigeon, a book written by me in 1907.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This autobiography of my memoirs is intended to entertain the outdoorsman with short stories of hunting and fishing adventures. This writing is in no way the extent of these true tales and these are only a few of the highlights and the most interesting. With due respect to the reader and the wildlife that are mentioned on the pages, please understand the importance of conservation. Sportsmanship is the respect of the law, the animals, and our fellow outdoorsmen. It is in no way sporting to take the life of an animal in play. We are responsible to them, and our actions will last forever within ourselves and the eyes and minds of our fellow man. We will pay the price of neglect, waste, and unguided conservation. Let us know what is right, and allow us to be the best judges that we can be and to govern our actions while in the wilderness. The gift is ours to give to those who follow; we are the examples. My father once told me, aLeave no sign in the wilderness that you have been there.a

I have this canoe that is tied to my imagination and docked to my memory bank. This book is simply a ride down the rivers of my memories. I grew up in the mountains of western NC under the shadow of Mount Pisgah. The mountain way of life during the 40's and 50's is worth writing about and preserving for future references. It is my story, seen and experienced through the eyes of a young boy. And for me the canoe rides are real, for the places and folk it takes me to are real. The river of my memories is deep and wide, for there are 70 plus years of storage. The traditions, the way of life in the 40's and 50's, Mountaineer spirit and humor are worth talking and writing about. There is nothing really spectacular about what I have to say, but I do hope the stories of growing up in a time that has almost slipped away help you take your own ride down your river of memories. The good times have left me upbeat and positive and extremely happy to have lived in those years. The tragedies have left me raw and exposed and extremely emotional. I truly hope these stories bring some smiles and joy to you. And I really hope you just relax, hop in my old canoe and take a river ride with me. Part of life that comes too sudden is the 'last time'. The last time you see a friend. The last time you talk to your folks. The last time you hugged a family member. One part of writing these stories is remembering the last time I had with some of my people. That is why tears have been shed while trying to write this memoir. I wish I had asked more questions. I wish I had had hugged a bit harder, and loved a lot sweeter. So as for me, I have tried to show in words just how much those folk, growing up in that time, and my Faith have meant to me. Be a blessing because you are blessed.
