Book Description
Excerpt from Shooting and Fishing in the Rivers, Prairies, and Backwoods of North America, Vol. 2 of 2 I offer to my readers the cloak of Mephistopheles, and invite them to accompany me to the shores of North America, between the twenty-first and the fiftieth degrees of north latitude. Let them not be dismayed at the length of the journey; we shall have arrived at our destination in less time than it will take to read this first chapter. In these days of steam and electricity we travel quickly. Good-bye, France! Welcome America! Land of the zealous sportsman, and above all, of the fisherman: land of great hunting and great fishing! Everything is on a large scale in that country, even the institutions, which seem however to have broken down of late, through a fatal neglect of the precepts of the immortal Washington.

Book Description
Excerpt from Shooting and Fishing in the Rivers, Prairies, and Backwoods of North America, Vol. 2 of 2 This fish is called by some fishermen the grumbler, from the noise which it makes in water under the bottom of a boat, - a kind Of hoarse murmur, which sounds like a growl. This grumbling pecu liarity is very Odd. If you make the slightest noise against the bottom of the boat, as by tapping, it ceases immediately but as soon as all is quiet again, it recommences. It is only heard, moreover, when the weather is fine. The white perch is from fifteen to twenty inches long; but I have seen them occasionally much larger, up to four and even Six pounds. Six weeks after they return to the rivers, their flesh acquires a dazzling whiteness but during the summer heats the fish grows thin, and loses its decided sea-water flavour.

Book Description
Excerpt from Shooting and Fishing in the Rivers, Prairies, and Backwoods of North America, Vol. 1 of 2 During a residence of nine years in the United States (i.e. From 1841 to 1849) my passion for adventure often tempted me into desert wilds and distant shores, in search of birds and quadrupeds unknown to the European sportsman. I have seen much, and have taken a great many notes, and by the aid of this and of my memory I have compiled for the gratification of my brethren in St. Hubert a series of fantastic sporting scenes, in which the principal actors are Indians, trappers, squatters, whites and negroes.
