Excerpt from Thrilling Adventures of Hunters in the Old World and the New The hunters of our own land will compare favorably with any to be found upon the face of the globe. Those of the western prairie have hardy frames, formed for an existence of strife, activity, and exposure - and souls that actually seem insensible to fear. In the midst of the most imminent dangers, they retain their courage and caution, and often effect an escape when such an achievement seems beyond human exertion. One of them believes himself equal to two grizzly bears, or several Indians, and will not hesitate to encounter them. These hunters are a bold, high-hearted race, and our country has reason to be proud of them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
