Excerpt from Trail and Camp-Fire: The Book of the Boone and Crockett Club

The third volume of the Boone and Crockett Club book is now presented to its members. The two earlier ones "American Big Game Hunting," and "Hunting in Many Lands," were published in 1893 and 1895, respectively, the purpose of the club being to issue one such volume every two years.

Since the publication of the last volume a wider public interest has been aroused in several of the objects for which the club is working, and not a little progress has been made in carrying them out. Some of these matters deserve especial mention.

Late in the year 1893 the National Academy of Sciences, at the request of the Secretary of the Interior, appointed a committee of forestry experts, who should examine the national forests and report upon them.
