“When some of my friends have asked me anxiously about their boys, whether
they should let them hunt, I have answered, yes – remembering that it was
one of the best parts of my education – *make* them hunters.”
-Henry David Thoreau

“We cannot but pity the boy who has never fiered a gun; he is no more
humane, while his education has been sadly neglected.”

-H.D. T.
