This antiquarian volume contains an account of the author's time spent in the wilderness of the Adirondacks, as well as some information on grayling fishing in north Michigan. The author's aim in writing this was to give the reader truthful pictures of the actual summer vacation life in the Adirondacks, to refresh the recollection of those who have camped and tramped in the area, and to give to others a reasonable, vivid, and fair impression of the wilderness and the experiences of summer life there. This wonderful text will greatly appeal to those with a keen interest in outdoor life or in the Adirondacks in particular, and it would make for a great addition to any collection of literature. The chapters of this book include: 'Benson Discourses of the Woods', 'The Start', 'On the Way', 'Utica', 'Early Morning', 'Old Clothes', 'Who We Were', 'My First Trout', 'Rain and Roads', 'Walk and Talk', 'Things Seen and Unseen', 'Our Cabin', 'Boats and Neighbours', 'A Busy Camp', 'Supper, ' et cetera. This text was first published in 1880, and is being republished now complete with a new specially commissioned introduction
