Excerpt from Familiar Life in Field and Forest: The Animals, Birds, Frogs, and Salamanders There are few things more gratifying to the lover of Nature than those momentary glimpses of wild life which he obtains while passing through the field or forest. Wild animals do not confine them selves exclusively to the wilderness, quite frequently they venture upon the highway, and we are apt to regard the meeting with one of them there as a rare and fortunate occurrence. The daisy and the wild rose appear in their ap pointed places on the return of summer, and the song sparrow sings in the same tree he frequented the year before, but the woodchuck. The raccoon, and the deer are not so often found exactly where we think they belong. To seek an interview with such wild folk is like taking a chance in a lottery: there are numerous blanks and but few prizes. But because wild life is not in constant evidence, like the wild ¿ower, is no proof that it is uncommon. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
