Excerpt from Wanderings in the Western Land IN the following pages I have endeavoured to record the recollections of a few months' wanderings in North America, spent chiefly in hunting in the Rocky Mountains. My principal objects in making the trip were to obtain a thorough change of scene, and to see something of a country of which we have all heard so much. I make no claim to having done or seen more than any one else could have done, having the same time and means at their disposal, and possessed of the same keenness for sport as myself. I believe, however, that I was in luck on the hunt; at least, I am told so by some well able to judge. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
