The author, Mr. E. Kreps, in
his introduction says: "In order
to be successful, one must know
the wild animals as a mother
knows her child. He must also
know and use the most practical
methods of trapping, and it is
my object to give in this work,
the most successful trapping meth-
ods known. These modes of trap-
ping the fur bearing animals have
for the most part been learned
from actual experience in various
parts of the country, but I also
give the methods of other success-
ful trappers, knowing them to be
as good as my own. I am per-
sonally acquainted with some of
the most expert trappers in North
America, and have also followed
the Indians over their trap lines, and in this way have learned
many things which to the white man are not generally known."

The author in his introduction says:
"As if hunting for profit, night hunt-
ing for either pleasure or gain and
professional hunting generally had no
importance, writers of books have
contented themselves with dwelling
on the study and presentation of mat-
ters relating solely to the men who
hunt for sport only. Even then the
Fox Chase and Bird Hunting has
been the burden of the greater per
cent, of such books."
