Excerpt from Outing, Vol. 38: An Illustrated Magazine of Sport, Travel, Adventure, and Country Life; April 1901 But Bagley was game. He stuck to it. He put on all the strain he could and got in his line as the guide pushed the boat out toward the bar. As they approached it, Bagley found that his arms and fingers had become so lame he could do very little in the way of holding the fish, and the guide started back for the Pass. The moment he turned, and the fish felt the strain of the line, he simply bucked out to sea, right into the surf which was running high. The guide followed, pushing the boat out as far as he dared, while Bagley, unable to take another turn on the reel, had to sit there and see his line go out. All at once, however, the line stopped and Bagley began, cramped as he was, to reel in, thinking the fish had broken away. Then the fish broke water, coming toward the boat in leaps - no sooner back into the water than out again. He passed in a magnificent jump, breaking water alongside and within arm's length of the boat. Bagley was all alive now, and reeled in with might and main, intent on getting all the line possible. In fact, so intent was he that when the strain did come, it was with such a sudden jerk that the crank was knocked from between his thumb and forefinger, and spun around in the wrong direction with a scream that was really agonizing to the much enduring Bagley. He looked appealingly to Peter, the guide, as though to say. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Caspar Whitney was a noted American sportsman and outdoorsman. In the early 1900s, he took a hunting trip through the jungles of Asia. This book covers that trip. It starts with an elephant hunt ordered by the King of Siam (this hunt was to capture elephants, not kill them). He continues through Malaysia, Sumatra and into India, hunting rhinoceros, elephants, and tigers, among other animals. All the while, Caspar Whitney describes his interactions with the natives along the way. A very well written book which captures the time before encroaching "civilization" eliminated the natives way of life. Book contains over 30 photos

Excerpt from On Snow-Shoes to the Barren Grounds: Twenty-Eight Hundred Miles After Musk-Oxen and Wood-Bison And why I turned my face towards a country which seemed to hold naught for the traveller but hardship? Well - certainly to hunt musk-ox, the most inaccessible game in the world, and to look upon his habitat at the period of its uttermost desolation; certainly also to study the several tribes of Indians through which I must pass on my way to the Barren Grounds; and en route to hunt wood bison, undoubtedly now become the rarest game in the world; Possibly, too, I went that I might for a time escape the hum and routine sordidness of the City, and breathe air which was not surcharged with convention and Civilization.

editor war correspondent author
Caspar William Whitney, the only son and eldest child of John Henry and Amelia D. Golderman Whitney, was born on September 2, 1861 in Boston. His father was associated with brothers in the iron business and later represented the firm in San Francisco.
After a grammar-school course, Caspar passed the entrance examinations for Harvard University at fifteen, but entered St. Matthew's College in California and was graduated there in 1879.
After five years of travel in the West and in Mexico, much of it on horseback, he established a small paper, devoted to amateur sports, in New York. In 1888 he became a sports writer and subsequently sports editor for Harper's Weekly. He is said to have been "the first to show that a man could write of athletics like a gentleman and for gentlemen". He took the unprecedented step of giving space to amateur sports, and by his devotion to fair play and to sport for pleasure and exercise rather than for profit, he did much to raise the standard of college athletics. This fact, together with the scholarship that underlay his writing, combined to make him the most respected sports writer of his day. In 1889 he originated the idea of a theoretical All-American football team, consisting of the best players from all colleges. He and Walter Camp chose the roster then and for a decade thereafter, and Whitney announced the selections in Harper's Weekly. He continued his travels in vacation periods; a strenuous journey past Great Slave Lake to the Arctic Circle is described in his book, On Snowshoes to the Barren Grounds (1896), and a hunting expedition in the Malay States brought forth Jungle Trails and Jungle People (1905). When the Spanish-American War broke out in the spring of 1898, he went to Cuba as correspondent for Harper's. After the war he visited Hawaii, and wrote Hawaiian America, published in 1899. In 1900 he became editor of the magazine Outing, a position which he held for nine years. Meanwhile he edited the Sportsman's Library, consisting of volumes on fishing, hunting, riding, rowing, track athletics, and other sports, written by various authors. Beginning in 1902, he made several trips into South American wilds, which he finally described in The Flowing Road (1912). In 1909 he took over a department in Collier's Weekly called "Outdoor America. " In 1913 he became editor of another magazine, Recreation; but when United States troops crossed the border into Mexico in 1914, he was with them as a correspondent. His observations of that country and its government appeared in What's the Matter with Mexico? (1916). In 1915-16 he and his second wife served in Belgium with Herbert Hoover's relief committee. With the entrance of the United States into the First World War in 1917, Whitney became a correspondent for the New York Tribune in Europe, which post he retained until after the peace negotiations in 1919. He had long since become a bitter critic of German militarism, and now his vigorous writing and his insistence upon an honest appraisal of America's part in the war brought him additional fame. He was so irked by the censorship of his dispatches that he made a sudden trip back to the United States at the end of 1917 to hurl, literally, dozens of articles into magazines, describing actual conditions at the front, scoring the red tape of the American Expeditionary Force, and berating pacifist tendencies at home. He urged that no peace be made until German militarism was utterly crushed. These writings were gathered into two books during 1918 - Gott Mit Uns - the Boche Delusion and The Critical Year - 1918. Upon his final return from the front, he published The Tempering of the Doughboy (1919), and thereafter wrote little, spending his last ten years quietly, either at his home at Tarrytown, N. Y. , or in Paris. Two minor works were privately printed, Hunt Clubs and Country Clubs in America (1928) and Charles Adelbert Canfield, which appeared in 1930, after his death. Earlier in his career he had published A Sporting Pilgrimage (1895) and Musk-Ox, Bison, Sheep and Goat (1904), the latter in collaboration with George B. Grinnell and Owen Wister. He died of pneumonia at his home in New York City.

He married, first, Cora Chase in 1897, but was divorced by her in 1908; on June 4, 1909, he married Florence E. Canfield of Los Angeles, by whom he had two daughters, Faith Canfield and Phoebe Chloe.
