""Hunting Trips of a Ranchman" was an entertaining read if the hunting narrative genre floats your boat. Unfortunately "The Wilderness Hunter" was mostly a re-edited HOToaR with entire chapters lifted wholesale. Including both books in a single volume was pointless and disappointing"
"This is ok. It evokes the west of the late 19th century, but is also sort of a catalog on how to hunt and shoot various animals. Even if you are a hunter, these methods and weapons are a little dated. I enjoyed Teddy's descriptions - but that's about it."
