Book excerpt: Excerpt from Shooting and Fishing in the Rivers, Prairies, and Backwoods of North America, Vol. 2 of 2 I offer to my readers the cloak of Mephistopheles, and invite them to accompany me to the shores of North America, between the twenty-first and the fiftieth degrees of north latitude. Let them not be dismayed at the length of the journey; we shall have arrived at our destination in less time than it will take to read this first chapter. In these days of steam and electricity we travel quickly. Good-bye, France! Welcome America! Land of the zealous sportsman, and above all, of the fisherman: land of great hunting and great fishing! Everything is on a large scale in that country, even the institutions, which seem however to have broken down of late, through a fatal neglect of the precepts of the immortal Washington.
