Riassunto

First published in 1859, Forty-Four Years of the Life of a Hunter records life in early America, hunting in the wilderness, and descriptions of game and plants of the time. Part backwoods history, part heroic adventure story, the book recounts Meshach Browning's hunts for white-tailed deer through the Appalachian wilderness of Maryland and West Virginia.
