Description

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. 'Why have you not written a book about your sporting adventures?' is a question often asked me by my friends when they were looking over my sketch books and I was describing the various scenes.

But book writing is not my forte and I have not the slightest pretension to any literary talent.

However, during my long illness the subject was again pressed upon me, and I have put together the following pages, extracts from my journals, and have selected from my sketches those which would best illustrate the scenes and adventures described.

I am writing of years long gone by when the muzzle loader, with all its drawbacks, was the chief weapon in use.<br><br>I found the above portion of an unfinished preface amongst my brother's papers.
