Sinopsis
Excerpt from Shooting and Fishing in the Rivers, Prairies, and Backwoods of North America, Vol. 1 of 2
During a residence of nine years in the United States (i.e. From 1841 to 1849) my passion for adventure often tempted me into desert wilds and distant shores, in search of birds and quadrupeds unknown to the European sportsman. I have seen much, and have taken a great many notes, and by the aid of this and of my memory I have compiled for the gratification of my brethren in St. Hubert a series of fantastic sporting scenes, in which the principal actors are Indians, trappers, squatters, whites and negroes.

Excerpt from Shooting and Fishing in the Rivers, Prairies, and Backwoods of North America, Vol. 1 of 2
Last spring I received a visit from M. Révoil, who expressed a desire that his sporting sketches and reminiscences of adventure in the Northern States of America should be introduced to the British public. They had acquired considerable popularity in France, and as, upon examination, they appeared to me to have considerable merit, I consented to put them into an English dress. Of course, there are features in them which will seem strange to the British taste, and our sportsmen may possibly object to some of the methods adopted as not quite orthodox. They contain however, in my opinion, what will be found to be a very fair repertory of sport in North America; and if they serve to amuse and to foster a taste for sport, and that love of adventure which is so inherent a quality in my fellow-countrymen, the object of their publication will be gained.
