To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The great handicap for a boy's hunting at that time, [30] JAN THE THIRD. 31 however, was the scarcity of powder and lead. More than once fowling of any kind had teen forbidden by the government as a waste of good ammunition that should be kept for defense against enemies. But a boy's ingenuity with abundant opportunity must have been equal to inventing various spring traps ; and were not the Indians there to teach the use of the bow, arrow, spear and tomahawk?
In those days there were plenty of... deer, elk and bear in the Long Island woods, and turkeys, pheasants, pigeons, rabbits were everywhere. It is not likely that the young Jan effected much slaughter among the larger game, but the rabbits, squirrels and pigeons were probably worried by fire from bow and sling; and per- haps many a 'possum was smoked out of a hollow tree and hustled to a finish by the dogs. Youth needs little teaching in such matters. The reversion to the hunter \? natural and dominant in almost every boy. But Jan the Third, like some of his later descendants, must have received not only inspiration but instruction from the Indians.
