Includes all original illustrations. The reader who seeks the spirit of this book in a single word will find it in the chapter called "Wild Folk One by One," which is only a name to suggest the individuality of all the wood folk. Not only do they differ as orders and species, eagles from hawks and wolves from foxes, but the different individuals of the same species differ widely one from another. . .when you study the inner characteristics, which the biologist invariably neglects,--you realize instantly that no two of them are alike and that to watch them one by one is the only possible way to understand them.

Then he would stop and brace himself with hind feet well apart and shoulders flat to the ground and surge backward on his purchase, bringing all the muscles of his body into play at once, like a fox I once saw that caught a woodchuck by the tail just as the little creature dove into his burrow and tugged in vain to drag him out. After a minute or two of this vain effort Chikch'eesep dropped the nut and seemed to be studying his proposition; for he sat very still on his hind legs, looking at the-obstinate thing, and his eyes were shining steadily. Suddenly he dropped on all fours,.m r-frjp /Lr came between me and the nut, cut /Vi/= Fvr)ntz ne string with his teeth, and hurried t:'--away with his booty. When he came i back I had the other half of the nut tied to the same string. No fooling this time. Without a moment's hesitation he cut the string, grabbed his prize, and away he went, whizz! like a bumblebee that has got his bearings. One who has watched the wood folk without prejudice might multiply instances of this kind indefinitely. Indeed, as I think over the birds and animals of my acquaintance and see them again in the wilderness, hardly one passes, from the moose to the wood-mouse, and from the eagle of the unnamed cliffs to Killooleet who sang on my ridge-pole, without bringing with him some vivid bit of personal experience which sets that particular animal or bird apart from all the rest. Deer are plentiful about my wilderness camp, and I see scores of them in the course of a summer and autumn; but one remembers not deer in general, but this particular buck that drove some smaller deer out of a sunny covert and lay dow...
