About this book

This fascinating autobiography of his early years, shows a young man with an enquiring mind that would help him become the leading ornithologist of his day, he was fascinated by the interactions of animals and humans alike, living on the border of what was then a wild frontier. Many of the earliest books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Pomona Press are republishing these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
