- Scope and Contents note
- "I feel constrained, as I sit before a blazing turf fire in my favorite Eire and think on the past, with all the hazards, dangers and hair-breadth escapes which have come my way, to set on paper some of the adventures and exploits which, willy nilly, as a photographer of wild game, a kindly fate has decreed that I should experience - and yet escape with a whole hide! "--Foreword.
