Captain Townshend started from England for the far West with a brother officer & a complete hunters equipment. He was away 5 months in all, & during that time he shot buffaloes, elks, antelopes, several varieties of deer, wolves, beavers, wild turkeys, prairie hens & many other birds which it would be tedious to enumerate. The guns, the accoutrements, & all the further requirements for this & other kinds of sport are rather too shortly described in Captain Townshends volume
