Excerpt from The Emigrant and Sportsman in Canada: Some Experiences of an Old Country Settler, With Sketches of Canadian Life, Sporting Adventures, and Observations on the Forests and Fauna Portions of this work have appeared in the columns of the 'Field,' with the nom-de-plume of 'Cariboo.'

In the following pages I have endeavoured to put together information for the latter class. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
