Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Long Trail
My father had done much hunting with many and varied friends. I have often heard him say of some one whom I had thought an ideal hunting companion: He's a good fellow, but he was always fishing about in the pot for the best piece of meat, and if there was but one partridge shot, he would try to roast it for himself. If there was any delicacy he wanted more than his share. Things assume such dif ferent proportions in the wilds; after two months living on palm-tree t0ps and mon keys, a ten-cent can of condensed milk bought for three dollars from a rubber ex plorer far exceeds in value the greatest delicacy of the season to the ordinary citi zen who has a varied and sufficient menu at his command every day in the year.
