Excerpt from The Young Nimrods in North America: A Book for Boys
Nimrods has endeavored to instruct the boys of America in the ways of the hunter's life. He has made use of his own experience among the wild animals of our forests and plains, and has also drawn freely from the accounts of others. He has sought to amuse as well as to instruct, and hopes that the favor that has been extended to his work in other directions will be accorded to the present effort.
A fair amount of natural history has been interwoven with the stories of hunting and fishing; it has been the writer's aim to convey informa tion in such form that it would not be open tothe charge of dulness and prolixity, and to this end the dialogue form has been freely introduced. How far he has succeeded in this endeavor he leaves the reader to de termine.
The illustrations have been taken from previous publications of Har per Brothers, but in all instances they have been carefully chosen with a view to the correct representation of the objects described. The an thor is specially indebted to General Marcy's Army Life on the Bor der, both for illustrations and for descriptions of certain phases of fron tier life which that veteran officer has so graphically delineated. He is also under obligations to Mr. Murphy's Sporting Adventures in the Far West, and to the accounts of life in the buffalo land by Mr. Theodore R. Davis.

He has made use of his own experience among the wild animals of our forests and plains, and has also drawn freely from the accounts of others. He has sought to amuse as well as to instruct, and hopes that the favor that has been extended to his work in other directions will be accorded to the present effort.
