The Game-Birds of the Coasts and Lakes of the Northern States of America
Robert Barnwell Roosevelt
The marshes and shores of the north once darkened with clouds of wildfowl. Robert Roosevelt writes on the game-birds of the coasts and lakes, their protection, the guns that hunted them, and the craft of bay-snipe shooting. A vivid record of American wildfowling in its heyday. Take to the flats after the great flocks of the northern shores.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
