American Big Game In Its Haunts: The Book Of The Boone And Crockett Club Edited By George Bird Grinnell This book is a result of an effort made by us towards making a contribution to the preservation and repair of original classic literature. In an attempt to preserve, improve and recreate the original content, we have worked towards: 1. Type-setting & Reformatting: The complete work has been re-designed via professional layout, formatting and type-setting tools to re-create the same edition with rich typography, graphics, high quality images, and table elements, giving our readers the feel of holding a 'fresh and newly' reprinted and/or revised edition, as opposed to other scanned & printed (Optical Character Recognition - OCR) reproductions. 2. Correction of imperfections: As the work was re-created from the scratch, therefore, it was vetted to rectify certain conventional norms with regard to typographical mistakes, hyphenations, punctuations, blurred images, missing content/pages, and/or other related subject matters, upon our consideration. Every attempt was made to rectify the imperfections related to omitted constructs in the original edition via other references. However, a few of such imperfections which could not be rectified due to intentional\unintentional omission of content in the original edition, were inherited and preserved from the original work to maintain the authenticity and construct, relevant to the work. We believe that this work holds historical, cultural and/or intellectual importance in the literary works community, therefore despite the oddities, we accounted the work for print as a part of our continuing effort towards preservation of literary work and our contribution towards the development of the society as a whole, driven by our beliefs. We are grateful to our readers for putting their faith in us and accepting our imperfections with regard to preservation of the historical content. HAPPY READING!

From its founding in 1887 by Theodore Roosevelt and the eminent conservationist writer-editor-publisher George Bird Grinnell, the Boone and Crockett Club exemplified the intersection of aristocratic big-game sportsmanship (and active contempt for market hunting), scientific curiosity, and conservationist values which provided significant leadership and support to the conservation movement in this era. The Club published several volumes of writings before 1920; this one illustrates the Club's interest and involvement in conservation action through a typical range of articles on hunting, wildlife and wilderness preservation, and natural history by prominent members, including President Roosevelt himself, while the Club's Constitution and lists of members (present and deceased) specify its purpose and suggest its niche in the world of America's social and political elite.

Among the many questions asked of the naturalist by an inquiring public, few come up more persistently than "What is the difference between a bison and a buffalo; and which is the American animal?" The interest which so many people find in questions such as this must serve as a justification for the present paper, which proposes no more than to put into concise form what is known of the zoological relations of the animals which come within the special interest of the Boone and Crockett Club.
