This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1899 edition. Excerpt: ...on through Mr. Neilson's wheat-field. Mr. Neilson has girdled the great trees, and the dead trunks, blackened by fire, are standing thick in the field, in the middle of which is the Sixty-second British regiment, which numbers six hundred. The noon-day sun falls in the men's faces as they stand there looking south-west. The riflemen open fire. Each man loads and fires, taking deliberate aim at the line of red-coated men. The British see the puffs of white smoke rolling up amidst the limbless trunks, and fire rapidly, but at random, and wildly. The riflemen charge upon the British, and drive them. They follow on, but soon come face to face with the Twentieth, Twenty-first, and Ninth regiments, the grenadiers, and eight cannon. There is a blaze of fire along the whole British line. The cannon-shot crash through the trunks of the trees, the air is filled with leaden rain; the British advance, and the riflemen, in turn, are obliged to retreat. The battle has raged scarcely twenty minutes, but during that time terrible the slaughter in the Sixty-second regiment. More than half have been killed or wounded. Not many of the riflemen have fallen, but they are scattered in the woods. Colonel Morgan blows a whistle, and its shrill notes ring through the forest, sharp and clear, above the noise and confusion. The riflemen hear it, and flock once more around their leader. General Burgoyne, thinking that he has put a large part of the Americans to flight, advances toward the intrenchments. The three New Hampshire regiments, under General Poor, were behind the intrenchments by Neilson's house. They heard the volley of the riflemen, and the louder volley of the British light-infantry, and the roar of the British cannon. They could see the smoke of battle...

PREFACE. THE Author of this very practical treatise on Scotch Loch - Fishing desires clearly that it may be of use to all who had it. He does not pretend to have written anything new, but to have attempted to put what he has to say in as readable a form as possible. Everything in the way of the history and habits of fish has been studiously avoided, and technicalities have been used as sparingly as possible. The writing of this book has afforded him pleasure in his leisure moments, and that pleasure would be much increased if he knew that the perusal of it would create any bond of sympathy between himself and the angling community in general. This section is interleaved with blank shects for the readers notes. The Author need hardly say that any suggestions addressed to the case of the publishers, will meet with consideration in a future edition. We do not pretend to write or enlarge upon a new subject. Much has been said and written-and well said and written too on the art of fishing but loch-fishing has been rather looked upon as a second-rate performance, and to dispel this idea is one of the objects for which this present treatise has been written. Far be it from us to say anything against fishing, lawfully practised in any form but many pent up in our large towns will bear us out when me say that, on the whole, a days loch-fishing is the most convenient. One great matter is, that the loch-fisher is depend- ent on nothing but enough wind to curl the water, -and on a large loch it is very seldom that a dead calm prevails all day, -and can make his arrangements for a day, weeks beforehand whereas the stream- fisher is dependent for a good take on the state of the water and however pleasant and easy it may be for one living near the banks of a good trout stream or river, it is quite another matter to arrange for a days river-fishing, if one is looking forward to a holiday at a date some weeks ahead. Providence may favour the expectant angler with a good day, and the water in order but experience has taught most of us that the good days are in the minority, and that, as is the case with our rapid running streams, -such as many of our northern streams are, -the water is either too large or too small, unless, as previously remarked, you live near at hand, and can catch it at its best. A common belief in regard to loch-fishing is, that the tyro and the experienced angler have nearly the same chance in fishing, -the one from the stern and the other from the bow of the same boat. Of all the absurd beliefs as to loch-fishing, this is one of the most absurd. Try it. Give the tyro either end of the boat he likes give him a cast of ally flies he may fancy, or even a cast similar to those which a crack may be using and if he catches one for every three the other has, he may consider himself very lucky. Of course there are lochs where the fish are not abundant, and a beginner may come across as many as an older fisher but we speak of lochs where there are fish to be caught, and where each has a fair chance. Again, it is said that the boatman has as much to do with catching trout in a loch as the angler. Well, we dont deny that. In an untried loch it is necessary to have the guidance of a good boatman but the same argument holds good as to stream-fishing...

The Liberty Boys of '76 was a weekly magazine containing stories of the American Revolution. The stories were based on actual facts and give a faithful account of the exciting adventures of a brave band of American youths who were always ready and willing to imperil their lives for the sake of helping along the gallant cause of independence. This volume reprints the lead novel from issue #504, originally published August 26, 1910.
