DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from A Hunter's Adventures in the Great West Almost in the centre of the vast continent of North America is situated an immense extent of country called Montana, the interior of which was but little known a few years since beyond what had been gathered from information afforded by adventurous white trappers, Indian traders, and small surveying parties in search of possible rail or telegraph routes from the Atlantic to the Pacific Ocean. Although this is now a portion of the United States, it is more than probable that, from its geographical position, the absence of navigable rivers, the roughness of its surface, and the hostility of the aborigines, it will still be many years before the advance of civilisation materially affects it; for it does not hold out to the emigrant those inducements which promise remuneration for the cultivation of the earth.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Hunting Sports in the West: Comprising Adventures of the Most Celebrated Hunters and Trappers This collection of stories is designed to exhibit the western hunters and trappers in their true character. The narratives are all matters of fact and not of fancy, and they have been selected from a great mass of a similar character, on a principle of choice, which the compiler believes will be approved by his readers; the principle, namely, of displaying all the different phases of the western hunter's perilous and adventurous life, as far as was practicable in so small a space. The reader, it is believed, will find in the volume a sufficient amount of novelty and variety, to repay him for the time spent in perusing its pages; and he will, probably, on closing it, come to the same conclusion which the compiler arrived at long since, namely, that hunting adventures with bears, panthers, wild cats, and other animals of a similar description, are, on the whole.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Thrilling Adventures of Hunters in the Old World and the New The hunters of our own land will compare favorably with any to be found upon the face of the globe. Those of the western prairie have hardy frames, formed for an existence of strife, activity, and exposure - and souls that actually seem insensible to fear. In the midst of the most imminent dangers, they retain their courage and caution, and often effect an escape when such an achievement seems beyond human exertion. One of them believes himself equal to two grizzly bears, or several Indians, and will not hesitate to encounter them. These hunters are a bold, high-hearted race, and our country has reason to be proud of them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from The Trail Hunter: Tale of the Far West The present volume of Aimard's Indian Tales is devoted to the earlier adventures of those hunters, whose acquaintance the reader has formed, I trust with pleasure, in the preceding series. It does not become me to say any thing further in its favor, than that the sustained interest of the narrative, which has been regarded as the charm of stories referring to life in the desert and prairie, has not been departed from in this instance. The stories themselves supply an innate proof of the writer's correctness to Nature, and, in truth, many of the scenes are SO startling that they must be the result of personal observation.
