Description

The book ""Life And Writings Of Frank Forester, Henry William Herbert V1-2 (1882)"" is a two-volume biographical work written by Frank Forester himself. The book covers the life and works of Henry William Herbert, who wrote under the pseudonym Frank Forester. Henry William Herbert was a prolific writer and a keen observer of nature, and his works were widely popular in the 19th century.The first volume of the book covers the life of Henry William Herbert, from his birth in England to his eventual emigration to America. The book details his early life, his education, and his eventual career as a writer. The second volume of the book contains a collection of his works, including novels, short stories, and essays. The works are organized thematically, with sections on hunting, fishing, and other outdoor pursuits.Throughout the book, Frank Forester provides insights into the life and works of Henry William Herbert, offering a unique perspective on the man behind the pseudonym. The book is a must-read for anyone interested in the life and works of one of the most popular and influential writers of the 19th century.One certainly must wonder how an English gentleman, coming to the United States when twenty-four years of age, could possibly amass and organize such voluminous information, especially when considering his countless other literary achievements. Although Herbert was an avid sportsman, he freely admits that he made much use of such renowned naturalists as Audubon, Giraud, Wilson, DeKay, Godman, and Bell, especially for descriptive species passages. A Mr. T. M. Adams of Independence, Missouri, is credited for much of the information on western species of big game. Much of the book, however, is based on Forester��s own extensive hunting travels in the eastern United States and Canada. His much admired and engaging writing style led to some calling him ��the Shakespeare of sporting literature.��--Henry M.
