PUBLISHERS' PREFACE

Having carefully examined the following pages, comprising the hunter life of Mr. Edwards, we most unhesitatingly pro- nounce it a very interesting Narrative, verging in numerous instances into very romance, and a book which the uninformed Reader may rely upon as being most strictly true to fact.

Hoping for, -- what it really deserves, and doubtless will have, -- a generous patronage, we cordially commend this truly characteristic Book to an appreciative and discriminating Public.
