Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Neighbours of Field, Wood and Stream: Or Through the Year With Nature´s Children Notwithstanding the destroying effect of three hundred years of civilisation and a dense population, an exact enumeration of the birds and quadrupeds still existing about our New England homes would certainly surprise a great many people. Of those who have eyes to see and ears to hear, many are both blind and deaf to those phenomena not directly connected with their ordinary life. Few of us observe with any care the birds that constantly fly past us in broad daylight, while the birds and other animals of the night and those that live in the seclusion of swamp and forest are known only to those who seek them in their haunts. Of Ulster County, New York, it is said, for instance, that almost every variety of game that existed there one hundred years ago is found there to-day. This seems hardly credible; but it is to a certain extent true, for deer, bear, and "panthers" are still found, though in diminished numbers. The same statement can be made of certain portions of New England. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
