Critics Review
“All the witchery of archery takes possession of us in but the briefest half hour’s acquaintance with Mr. Thompson’s charming book.” - Buffalo Courier “Mr. Thompson is an enthusiast in his pastime, but he is not less a lover of nature and an accurate observer in natural history, especially of birds; and the reader will be delighted with his experiences as a hunter and a roamer of the woods. The book is full of the flavor of nature, like those of Thoreau and John Burroughs.” - Hartford Courant “The entire book is charming, and we cordially recommend it to readers generally, whether they are interested in archery or not, certain that they will find an enjoyable freshness about it that would have been a severe loss to have missed.” - Peoria Call “Mr. Thompson is a devoted disciple of the bow, and he writes with a freshness and enthusiasm that are contagious.” - Cincinnati Times “Maurice Thompson’s graphic articles will delight the lovers of archery, which ancient sport finds new life and freshness under the vigorous touches of his pen.” - New York Tribune “Mr. Thompson, knight of the bow and quiver, with file help of many graceful pictures, charms us with his dissertations upon his old-time sport.” - New York Churchman
