Description
Excerpt from Field, Cover, and Trap Shooting
For much the greater part of that period, Captain Bogardus has maintained and brought up his respectable and interesting family, almost solely by his gun. From that fact, I concluded that his was the knowledge and experience which would be valuable and instructive to sportsmen, young and old, and interesting to the general public. The former do not want to listen to people who know no more than they know them selves. The latter do not want to peruse the work of a man on any subject if he never rises above mediocrity, while they gladly welcome the book of one who has proved himself a master of his art. Because Captain Bogardus had been able to live for many years solely by his gun, he was of all men best qualified to enlighten Old sportsmen, and instruct the young in regard to the habits and haunts Of game and the art of shooting.
