This text contains a detailed guide to game water birds of the Atlantic coast and the lakes of the United States, with a full account of the sporting along the seashores and inland waters. It also contains supplementary remarks on breech-loaders and hammerless guns. The ideal text for those with an interest in American water hunting, the 'Field Book Of Birds Of The Southwestern United States' is not to be missed. The chapters of this book include: 'Florida--The Inland Passage', 'In Florida', 'Currituck Marshes', 'Game of the Ancient and Modern Days', 'Guns and Gunnery', 'Bay-Snipe Shooting', 'The New Jersey Coast', 'Bay-Birds', 'Montauk Point', 'Rail and Rail-Shooting', 'Wild-Fowl Shooting', 'Duck-Shooting on the Inland Lakes', and 'Suggestions to Sportsmen'. This antique text was originally published in 1884, and is proudly republished here complete with a new introduction on waterfowl shooting.
