Hunting is the noblest exercise, Makes men laborious, active, Wise, Brings health and doth the spirits delight, It helps the hearing and the sight! It teacheth arts that never slip The memory, good horsemanship, Search, sharpness, courage and defense, And chaseth all ill habits thence.

Excerpt from With Gun and Guide
For those men whose days are spent in the busy counting-house or store, buying or selling merchandise, poring over ledgers, making out accounts, with their ears dinned with the click of cash carriers, the rat-a-tat of typewriters, the snapping noise of adding machines, the buzzing whir of electric fans, perhaps now giving ear to a life insurance agent, again to the honeyed words of the wily promoter, to the appeal for charity, to the man wanting an ad for his paper, or to the committee begging money for a new church, while from outside of the business abode come the sounds of street cars crashing over intersections, the soul-torturing noises of itinerant street musicians, the chug-chug-chug of passing automobiles, the shrieking of newsboys, the shuffling of feet on the pavement as the surging multitudes pass and repass - for such men living in such a babel of discordant noises this book is written.
In it the author attempts so to picture life in the woods, in the marsh, on the lake, on the mountains, and through the bogs in pursuit of game, as to inspire his readers and coax them to leave their desks and counters for a while and live an active life in the open.
