"No American is better qualified than Mr. Roosevelt to write on such a subject as this; for he has himself hunted and killed every kind of game native to the United States, has lived

on our so-called frontier and known the peculiar life and thought of its people, and above all possesses a true appreciation of nature, animate and inanimate, and the literary ability to relate what he has seen."—New York Nation.

"Written by a mighty hunter, also a naturalist as well as a sportsman, a close observer as well as a sure shot; not John Burroughs himself could write more interestingly of the sights and sounds of the wilderness."—Philadelphia Telegraph.

"The most accurate, as it certainly is the most cool and impartial, and in some respects the most intrepid, account that has yet appeared of the naval actions of the war of 1812."—Harper's Monthly.
