Waterman here traces the impact of American history on American wildlife and hunting. For the path of progress has inevitably led through the wilderness, and as the face of the continent has changed, so have the habitats of animals and birds, and the patterns of hunters in pursuit of game. Hunting in America begins with the ancient origins of hunting by necessity, and advances through the centuries to today's most sophisticated experiments in preserving game for sport. Along the way it examines the evolution of hunter's skills and techniques, especially through the improvement of his firearms to their current state of near-perfection." Chapters include:- The land primeval; The red hunter; The explorers; First settlers; Moving west; Forest to farm; Meat for money, game for sport; Adjustments in the wild; New game for old; Man and the balance. .
