The Game-Birds of the Coasts and Lakes of the Northern States of America

This book is written for those who love hunting with guns or with a fishing rod. The main quarry is game birds, and the author bemoans the decline in numbers of such birds. His description focuses on the area of Florida which is warm and close to the Atlantic sea coast and therefore attractive to hunters who 'cannot stand exposure to cold weather, and still more, to keep up their interest, must have the chance of making a larger bag than they can count on at the North.'
