A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The frontiers of the world are now all hut gone, for the feet of men have trodden almost every trail and the beaks of ships have blown into every sea. Blazes on the trees, keels buried in the beaches meet us wherever we adventure. But this does not necessarily sadden a man who leaves for the time a more crowded civilization to seek refreshment in the wilderness. To him the smell of the woods and the salt taste of spray are sufficient. This story of a hunting trip pretends only to tell of a summer cruise through, beyond and around Alaska in search of sport with the rifle and the freedom which gives that sport its zest. The photographs have been selected from a large number taken by members of the party and each bears the name of the man who took it, except those by the author. Special portraits of various related game heads, lent by the owners for comparison with those shot on the trip, have been reproduced on the same scale, and each bears the owners name. No retouching has been allowed on any illustrations. For advice, criticism and assistance I am grateful to Alfred M. Collins, Wilson Potter, Gilpin Lovering, Dr. Arthur W. Elting, Dr. William T. Hornaday, Allen I. Smith and Charles R. Wood. None of these gentlemen is responsible for any shortcomings of the text. E. M. S. Philadelphia, A pril, 191J.
