WONDERLAND, 1904 (CLASSIC REPRINT)

Excerpt from Wonderland, 1904The youthful Nimrod of a half century ago, whether he lived in Pennsylvania or Minnesota, has seen great changes in big and even in small-game hunting. To some extent this holds true of fishing. Ten years ago it looked as if the big game was doomed to rapid and complete extinction. But under the operation of wise game laws the game has, in recent years, actually increased, and in Minnesota, for example, the deer were, in the fall of 1903, more plentiful than for years. This too, despite the fact that in recent years the hunters have fairly swarmed in the woods of Northern Minnesota and Wisconsin during the open season. Even as I write. The daily press recounts one shipment of forty eight deer and a 1,2oo-pound moose from one Northern Minnesota town as received at the union station at St. Paul.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
