The White Beaver

Hardcover (Forgotten Books Jan. 23, 2018)
Excerpt from The White BeaverPlot, but Paul evidently understood it, and he became highly excited at once. The idea of shooting the last turkey that was known to inhabit that country for miles around J ock'e Lake, and which had attracted into the woods more than one fellow who was handy with the trigger, was an Object well worth trying for, and Paul made up his mind that if his father could spare him he would go into the woods with Hugh and see if they could not waylay that old turkey. That old rogue, as he was called by all who knew anything of his history, had once been the leader of a flock of wild turkeys who inhabited the shores of Jock's Lake, a few miles away; but one by one they had fallen before the aim of the sharpshooters who had gone into the woods in search of him, and now he was the only one left. His cunning proved to be too much for the skill of his human antagonists until the winter before our story begins, and then he had suddenly disappeared, and no one knew.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
