PREFACE.
"A Summer's Outing" comprises letters hastily written while the writerwas on the wing. Being printed in the Chicago Tribune theywere favorably received by many friends, who have urged their beingpublished in book form, as a thing now needed by would-be tourists tothe Yellowstone National Park and to Alaska. To this end they wererevised and somewhat enlarged. If the little book be of little value,the apology is offered that it will be, too, of little cost.
"The Old Man's Story" is thrown in as filling between two covers, andneed not be read except by those who find an idle hour hard to disposeof.
