Foreword.

The aim will be to take the readeralong on the journey of the pioneerwoodsman, from comfortable hearthstone,from family, friends, books,magazines, and daily papers, and to disappearwith him from all evidences of civilization andfrom all human companionship save, ordinarily,that of one helper who not infrequently is anIndian, and to live for weeks at a time in theunbroken forest, seldom sleeping more than asingle night in one place.

The woodsman and his one companionmust carry cooking utensils, axes, raw provisionsof flour, meat, beans, coffee, sugar, rice,pepper, and salt; maps, plats, books for fieldnotes; the simplest and lightest possible equipmentof surveying implements; and, lastly, tentand blankets for shelter and covering at nightto protect them from storm and cold.

Incidents of the daily life of these two voluntaryreclusionists, as they occurred to the author,and some of the results obtained, will betold to the reader in the pages which are tofollow.
