This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work.

We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.

Mark Twain once famously said "there was but one solitary thing about the past worth remembering, and that was the fact that it is past and can't be restored." Well, over recent years, The British Library, working with Microsoft has embarked on an ambitious programme to digitise its collection of 19th century books. There are now 65,000 titles available (that's an incredible 25 million pages) of material ranging from works by famous names such as Dickens, Trollope and Hardy as well as many forgotten literary gems , all of which can now be printed on demand and purchased right here on Amazon. Further information on The British Library and its digitisation programme can be found on The British Library website.

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-0x, 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.

Whitney, Caspar was born on September 2, 1864 in Boston, Massachusetts, United States.
He was educated at Saint Mathew"s College in California.
He originated the concept of the All-American team in college football in 1889 when he worked for Harper"s Magazine. During the Spanish–American War, Whitney submitted articles from the front in Cuba. At the Battle of Las Guasimas, he accompanied General Young"s 1st and 10th (Regular) Cavalry.
His published map of the battle is considered the most accurate of that action published at that time.
His depiction of the fighting on the right is made from personal observation. His depiction of the left where the Rough Riders fought was based on post-battle interviews.
From 1900, he was an owner and editor-in-chief of the monthly Outing magazine, which promoted the outdoors and sporting pursuits, as well as a good deal of adventure fiction. Authors included Jack London and Clarence East. Mulford.
He later edited Outdoor America.
He declared bankruptcy in 1910. He wrote on a wide range of subjects including big-game hunting, inter collegiate sporting contests (especially football and baseball), amateur versus professional contests, and the Olympic games. In the early 1900s, he edited "The American Sportsman"s Library," a quality series of 16 volumes.
Whitney testified in a lawsuit against him that he earned a salary of $8,000 (nearly $200,000 inflation adjusted to 2008) for editing Outing and $1,500 (about $35,000 inflation adjusted) for editing the American Sportsman"s Library.
Whitney married three times: Anna Childs in 1889, Cora Adele Chase in 1897 and Florence Canfield in 1909. The latter was the daughter of the colorful miner and industrialist Charles A. Canfield (1848-1913) (the subject of a Whitney biography).
She participated in founding the League of Women Voters and remained active politically until her death in a motor vehicle accident in 1941.

He was a founding member of The Explorers Club (1904) after expeditions in North and South America. As a sports journalist he was an advocate of athletic amateurism and was a member of the International Olympic Committee (1900–1905) and the American Olympic Committee (President 1906–1910).
Married Florence East. Canfield, June 4, 1909. Children: Faith Canfield, Phoebe Chloe.
