Print on Demand. This book documents the author’s personal observations recorded during prolonged sojourns in Indochina. The author, who has practiced every type of hunting that Europeans and natives can engage in during the day or night, during the dry or rainy seasons, has sought to inform the public about everything related to modern hunting in the five magnificent countries that make up our distant empire. The author has devoted two chapters to our natural auxiliaries in these vast regions, auxiliaries so precious and so remarkable from multiple points of view: 1st the native human races, quite unfamiliar in Europe and so curious to observe; 2nd the native and European dogs, those marvelous servants of man, particularly appreciated by the hunter. The author has finished this part with a short study on the regulations of hunting in Indochina, a question that our high government has recently been concerned with for all of our colonies. The second part aims to familiarize [the reader] with the most interesting varieties of small and big game animals, at the same time as with the country itself and the unavoidable contact with its inhabitants, through lived accounts of hunts and travels, taken at random from the author’s numerous memories and which the author guarantees are completely truthful. The author could not finish this book, which is addressed not only to hunters, but to all, without giving a quick overview (that is to say, free from all the didactic developments that a study would entail) of the fauna most generally spread throughout our empire of Indochina, of which colonists, travelers, and hunters are called to encounter subjects in the course of their peregrinations. Although the author has condensed this last part into about thirty pages, reducing it almost to a nomenclature, one can, it is hoped, still draw useful information from it. The favored hunters, who will want to and can offer themselves a hunting trip in the French Far East, they are increasingly numerous each year, will be happy, the author believes, to find there most of the names given by the natives to the various subjects of the local fauna, on the habits and customs of which the author would have had so much to say, that it would have required a second volume. The author will be happy if this modest work, very imperfect without doubt, but which the author has made sincere and as complete as the framework of this book permitted, has the good fortune to interest compatriots, by introducing them to the fatigues, the dangers, and the joys of the hunting life overseas, of this beautiful and immense French Asia, where the author hopes that many of those who will read the author will have the possibility of going one day to accomplish numerous and beautiful hunting exploits. To these latter the author offers the weak support of the author’s experience of eighteen years of residence, to guide them, if they wish, on the choice of particularly interesting hunting regions to visit, some of which are still very little known. May the reader give a warm welcome to this book and grant indulgent kindness to the author, more accustomed to wielding the rifle and the carbine of the hunter than the pen of the writer! This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. …
