Big Game Shooting in Alaska (1904)

Alaska, which doubtless Russia now regrets having sold so cheaply to the American Government, is one of the few countries which still has the charm of the unknown, and this record of a shooting trip there should thoroughly appeal to all sportsmen. The author gives full information respecting guides and equipment, and the various game to be had, and its locality. The descriptions of the shooting of the bears and moose which fell to the guns of the author and his party are excellent, and often exciting, reading, for the Alaska bear is an animal that dies hard, and the desire to have bagged the largest skins and skulls is provocative of a considerable amount of lying, it would appear. The incidental descriptions of the country are good, and there are many stories besides those more nearly connected with sport. The story of the talking dog which never spoke again after being sold is excellent. Indeed, although written primarily for sportsmen, the book will interest and amuse anyone who takes it up.
