Excerpt from Good Hunting: In Pursuit of Big Game in the WestIt is interesting, also, to remember that the inﬂuence of the author has been con stantly exerted in favor of the preserva tion of big game and the maintenance of national parks and forest reserves, which, in addition to other advantages, include the protection of these noble forms of animal life.This series of articles upon big-game hunting was written for H arper's Round Table, and published therein in 1897. The picture of ranch-life which forms the closing chapter appeared in H arper's Round Table in 1896. These articles are now presented together in book form for the first time after consultation with the author.

Excerpt from Robinson Crusoe Often there are snakes too, and it was lucky that no snakes on Robinson's island troubled him. For on some islands that I have seen there are snakes - black and white, the most poisonous of them - that swim about in the sea and come up on the beach, and you have to be careful that you do not sit down on the top of one, for they are not always very quick at getting out of the way.

Excerpt from Robinson CrusoeThere can be no doubt that, as a rule, nine-tenths of the number of boy readers who peruse Robinson Crusoe's adventures have the most implicit belief that that hero once existed in the flesh : and this though they are aware that the matter was written by Daniel De Foe. For written they read narrated; and, if they think about De Foe at all, it is as a good sort of fellow who wrote from Crusoe's dictation, - an individual to whom the doughty adventurer was under considerable obligation. It is a severe blow to the young and trusting mind to discover that their darling solitary-islander is, after all, a fictitious personage that lived only in the brain of a romancist, as did Jack the Giant-killer; but if, in addition, truth insisted on the further explanation that the said romancist was a sot or a coxcomb, or a surly fellow, who wielded his pen for bread as a toy-maker handles his tools, and with as sincere contempt for his fantastic handiwork, the disappointment would indeed be complete.De Foes ancestry can be traced no further than his grandfather. He was a jovial country gentleman, living on his own estate, at Elton, in Northamptonshire, sowing and reaping for his profit, and following the hounds for his pleasure. It is not recorded that De Foe, the yeoman, was a public man, or that he at all meddled with the affairs of State; still it is shown that he was not indifferent concerning such matters, and that he followed, or at least countenanced, the common practice of the men of his time, of bestowing the names borne by statesmen not of their party on dogs and other animals of low degree. Says De Foe : - "I remember my grandfather had a huntsman that used the same familiarity with his dogs; and he had his Roundhead and his Cavalier, his Goring and his Waller, and all the generals of both armies were hounds in his pack, till, the times turning, the old gentleman was fain to scatter the pack, and make them up of more dog-lik…
