The author was out blackberrying in the Adirondacks when he met a bear doing the same thing, and he feels obliged to set the record straight. Eight sketches follow him through getting lost in the woods, a long fight with a trout, a deer hunt, camping out, and a study of a backwoods guide.
Dry, good-natured outdoor humour by Mark Twain’s co-author on The Gilded Age, ideal for anyone who has slept badly in a tent. Download the free EPUB.
