Summary "Wild Northern Scenes; Or, Sporting Adventures with the Rifle and the Rod" by S. H. Hammond is a collection of outdoor adventure narratives written in the mid-19th century. The book captures the author’s passion for hunting and fishing in the beautiful and unspoiled wilderness between the St. Lawrence River and Lake Champlain, reflecting on the joys, challenges, and experiences of a sportsman in nature. The opening of the narrative lays a strong foundation for the author’s love of the natural world and the invigorating experience of venturing into the wild. Hammond describes the breathtaking scenery of the region, highlighting its majestic mountains, beautiful lakes, and thriving wildlife, while establishing the allure of these adventures for those seeking solace from the urban hustle. We meet the narrator, who is eager to escape civilization and embark on a month-long excursion into the North with friends, spurred by a desire for rejuvenation through hunting and fishing. This is where we start to see the importance of camaraderie in these adventures, as the narrator enlists friends with shared interests, creating an exciting premise for various tales filled with nature's bounty and human connection.
