Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Wild Fowlers: Or Sporting Scenes and Characters of the Great Lagoon; With Many Practical Hints Concerning Shot-Guns and Ammunition, the Natural History of Wild-Fowl, and the Chivalric Sportsman´s Best Method of Taking the Game "Reading and writing are inflicted by schoolmasters, but a crack shot is the work of God." - Frank Forester. The season, midwinter; the hour, an early one, for city beings, at least, - four in the morning; the approaching day, one of the midweek, with full promise of crispness and brightness; the place, aboard a sturdy sloop, making out the little creek at Amityville into the open water of the Great South Bay of Long Island; the company, one Adam Grieb, skipper, who has "follered th´ bay nigh on teh sixty year an´ more"; Doctor Edward Bradley, who, though a city man, looks as strong and weather-stained as the bayman; and Peritus, the Doctor´s young companion.
