Excerpt from Frank Forester's Fugitive Sporting Sketches: Being the Miscellaneous Upon Sport and Sporting, Originally Published in the Early American Magazines and Periodicals
Y object in presenting a work of this kind to the sporting public, at this time, is quite fully defined in the introduc tory chapter, and to this I have but little to add. The utility and interest of a volume of this kind will, I trust, be apparent to the most casual observer. The writings of Frank Forester, as stated elsewhere, are too well and favorably known to require an apology for placing a new collection of his superb sketches before the fraternity of which he was, while living, the brightest light.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a rich tapestry of essays on hunting and fishing written by Frank Forester, one of the earliest and most prominent American sporting writers. The author's prolific career in the mid-1800s helped to create a national literature on American field sports, and his works remain widely respected by sportsmen and enthusiasts today. In addition to spirited tales of hunting and fishing, Forester wrote touchingly of the natural world and of the value of conservation and woodcraft. This collection places the reader in the heart of a bygone era in American history when much of the country was still an untamed wilderness, and the pursuit of game was a vital part of life for many.
