Book Description
Excerpt from A Year Among the Trees: Or the Woods and by-Ways of New England When the Pilgrim first landed on the coast of America, the most remarkable feature of its scenery that drew his attention, next to the absence of towns and villages, was an almost universal forest. A few Openings were to be seen near the rivers, - immense peat-meadows covered with wild bushes and gramineous plants, interspersed with little wooded islets, and bordered on all sides by a rugged, silent, and dreary desert of woods. Partial clear ings had likewise been made by the Indians for their rude hamlets, and some spaces had been Opened by fire. But the greater part of the country was darkened by an umbrageous mass of trees and shrubbery, in whose gloomy shades were ever present dangers and bewilderment for the traveller. In these solitudes the axe of the woodman had never been heard, and the forest for thousands of years had been subject only to the spontaneous action of natural causes. To men who had been accustomed to the Open and cultivated plains of Europe, this waste of woods, those hills without prospect, that pathless wilderness, and its inhabitants as savage as the aspect of the coun try, must have seemed equally sublime and terrible.

Book Description
Excerpt from In New England Fields and Woods The weather and the changes of the seasons are such common and convenient topics that one need not apologize for talking about them, though he says nothing new. Still less need one make an apology if he becomes garrulous in relation to scenes which are now hidden from him by a curtain of darkness, or concerning some humble acquaintances with whom he was once on familiar terms, but who now and hereafter can only be memories, though they are yet near him and he may still hear their voices. So without excuse I offer this collection of sketches, which with a few exceptions were first published in the columns of "Forest and Stream."

Book Description
Excerpt from The Woods and by Ways of New England In describing the aspects of. Nature, I have selected such views as afl'ord me the most pleasure, endeavoring by my manner of presenting them to inspire the reader with the same agreeable sensations. I have aimed, not so much to make a graphic picture of any scene from which a painter might with his brush or pencil obtain a copy on canvas, as, on the other hand, to make the reader feel as he would in the presence of it. I have also confined my descriptions to ordi nary scenes. These alone have been my study. The objects that meet our view in our walks outside of any village in the country, the beauty of a plain cottage and its picturesque in mates, with their baskets of whortleberries and their bundles of dried herbs, and the common trees and shrubs of the forest and the wayside, form the subjects of my essays. From them I have studied the oracles of nature, and in these pages I have given their interpretations as I understand them.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Clerk of the Woods The chapters of this book were written week by week for simultaneous publication in the "Evening Transcript" of Boston and the "Mail and Express" of New York, and were intended to be a kind of weekly chronicle of the course of events out-of-doors, as witnessed by a natural-historical observer. The title of the volume is the running title under which the articles were printed in the "Evening Transcript." It was chosen as expressive of the modest purpose of the writer, whose business was not to be witty or wise, but simply to "keep the records."
