Excerpt from The Boy With the U. S. Trappers The trapper has ever been the symbol to America of robust manhood and of the desire to press forward the ideals and the civilization of the United States to their farthest bounds. No country has been too wild or rugged for him, no venture too daring, no peril too great. Many of the frontier heroes of America were trappers and hunters.

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

Excerpt from The Home Afloat, or the Boy Trappers of the Hackensack These meadows were at one time the best known hunting and fishing grounds adjacent to the large city, and there are still living hundreds of the best citizens who can bear testimony to this fact. All this is changed. The handiwork of man, and the demands of civilization, have caused the surface of this marsh to be bisected with numerous roads. No game bird can now alight upon its waters and remain for any length of time. The noise of a passing train of cars or the screeching of the trolley car wheels scares them, and causes them to find a more secluded and quiet place. The numerous bridges crossing over the lower end or mouth of the river act as a dam, and have destroyed this one time favorite stream of the disciples of Isaac Walton. The muskrat that at one time could be seen perched upon the top of its house has almost become extinct, and is now very seldom seen. He probably recognizes that the bump of destruction in mankind, in so far as it relates to him and his family, has become very highly devel oped, and while he can occasionally be seen crawlingalong the muddy bottom of a creek, he very seldom appears on the surface of the meadow. A great many of the characters in this story are chosen from real life, while the' tale itself is one of fiction. The writer may have slightly overdrawn in his description of incidents and events. If so, he has only taken advantage of the liberty which is allowed in works of this character. It has been the author's aim to impress the youthful reader with the fact that it makes very little difference in this life in what position a young man may find himself, if he will only remain honest, energetic and thoughtful, he will meet with success.

The Boy Trapper by Harry Castlemon CHAPTER I.A GLANCE AT THE PAST. "Don't worry about it, mother. It is nothing we can help." "It seems to me that I might have helped it. If I had gone to General Gordon when your father first spoke about that barrel with the eighty thousand dollars in it, and told him the whole story, things might have turned out differently. But in spite of all he said, I did not suppose that he was in earnest." "Neither did I. That any man in his sober senses should think of such a thing! Why, mother, if there had been so much money buried in that potato-patch, the General would have known it, and don't you suppose he would have found it if he'd had to plough the field up ten feet deep? Of course he would." We are delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive Classic Library collection. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. The aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature, and our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. The contents of the vast majority of titles in the Classic Library have been scanned from the original works. To ensure a high quality product, each title has been meticulously hand curated by our staff. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with a book that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic work, and that for you it becomes an enriching experience.
