Deer and Dogs Chase in Water and Calm Hunter Narratives
An extended excerpt threads through field notes and tales about a buck fleeing into water and hounds circling its scent, a girl’s call for honor and Pence Polly’s caution in lending funds, and reflections on youth behavior. Additional vignettes recount a horse reacting to bells, Beethoven anecdotes, and a note on a magisterial writer's critique of boys, all illustrated in a 19th century newspaper voice.

Remarkable Dog and Curious War Talk From Maine Woods
A jumble of reminiscences and scientific curiosities mix in a late 19th century style piece. It recounts a bold dog tale in Maine woods, debates on rifle bullets and hunting laws, and then dives into rapid-fire notes on astronomy, camera traps, lightning conductors, a prison-frame carving project, and a Chicago judge’s portraiture by George Shiras.
