Excerpt from Sketches of Camp Life in the Wilds of the Aroostook Woods, Aroostook County, Maine: Fishing, Canoeing, Camping, Shooting and Trapping, Being True Stories of Actual Life in CampFor very many years a resident of Aroostook, I have Spent much time in the fall and winter months in the big woods, because of its delightful scenery, healthy atmosphere, and the gratifying opportunity of observing the habits of the wild animals and birds. This constant association with nature in her virgin beauty, instead of creating the careless oblivion of surroundings usually born of familiarity, has increased my ardent love for the forest, lake and stream. Wait one moment, please. The boy looking over your shoulder must be answered. My ears have actually grown larger from eager listening for the game. I overheard his whispered remark, saying, I wonder if he really does know all about the woods? No, indeed I and not but just a little bit, and should be only too happy to spend more than half the remaining years Of my life in the wildwoods, enjoying its health-giving properties, watching and studying all its beautiful occupants.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
