"When placed by the side of the popular novel, the strength of
these stories causes them to stand out like a huge primitive giant
by the side of a simpering society miss, and while the grace and
beauty of the girl may please the eye for a moment, it is to the
rugged strength of the primitive man your eyes will turn to glory
in his power and simplicity. In simple, forceful style Mr. Roberts
takes the reader with him out into the cold, dark woods, through
blizzards, stalking game, encountering all the dangers of the
backwoodsmen's life, and enjoying the close contact with Nature in
all her moods. His descriptions are so vivid that you can almost
feel the tang of the frosty air, the biting sting of the snowy
sleet beating on your face, you can hear the crunch of the snow
beneath your feet, and when, after heartlessly exposing you to the
elements, he lets you wander into camp with the characters of the
story, you stretch out and bask in the warmth and cheer of the
fire."--_Western Review._

PHOTOGRAPHY FOR THE SPORTSMAN NATURALIST
_Illustrated Cloth 8vo $2.00 net_
"It often occurs that he who finds delight in woodcraft finds also
a pleasure in preserving by photography what he finds to interest
him in his wanderings in the open. To such this book appeals with
a peculiar force, for the author is evidently at once familiar
with wood and field life and an adept with the camera."--_Boston
