Illustrated with 1500 photographs, halftone plates and line cuts, most made from Seton's own drawings from life, documents 100 land animals, "which are considered 'game,' either because they have held the attention of sportsmen, or received the protection of law." These include cats, wolves, foxes, bears, raccoon, badgers, weasels, deer, antelope, buffalo, sheep, peccary, squirrels, rabbits, armadillo, and opossum. A superb monument to American game animals north of Mexico, and their preservation.
