Excerpt from Shooting and Fishing in the Rivers, Prairies, and Backwoods of North America, Vol. 1 of 2
During a residence of nine years in the United States (i.e. From 1841 to 1849) my passion for adventure often tempted me into desert wilds and distant shores, in search of birds and quadrupeds unknown to the European sportsman. I have seen much, and have taken a great many notes, and by the aid of this and of my memory I have compiled for the gratification of my brethren in St. Hubert a series of fantastic sporting scenes, in which the principal actors are Indians, trappers, squatters, whites and negroes.
