Excerpt from Life-Histories of Northern Animals, Vol. 1: An Account of the Mammals of Manitoba, Grass Eaters
This aims to be a book of popular Natural History on a strictly scientific basis. In it are treated some 60 quadrupeds that I have known and studied for many years.
Although I have limited the scope to the 60 species that are found in Manitoba, this takes in all the large land mammals of the United States, except about a dozen, including five of the big game. Having followed these 60 into all parts of their ranges, I have virtually included the Continent from Labrador to California.
A glance at the map will show that I have had unusual opportunities for gathering material, having visited nearly every State in the Union, on trips to collect specimens or information.
