[*] Whitney, Caspar. Jungle trails and jungle people; travel, adventure and observation in the Far East. [**]$3. Scribner.
“Recent travels in the Far East, in India, Sumatra, Malay, and Siam.... The record of a trip prompted by the lust of adventure, and by the desire to see strange lands and strange peoples, and to hunt strange animals. Mr. Whitney has caught the trick of making a little human interest enhance the vivid story of some thrilling or stirring hunting adventure.... Hunters or servants, enlighten us as to the mental and moral habits of the natives of the countries described.”—Dial.
[*] “Mr. Whitney has written a volume of travel and adventure that will make his name conspicuous among American hunters.” H. E. Coblentz.
