A field guide and introduction to the identification of animal tracks found in the area east of the Mississippi, including tips on how to study and interpret them. Not intended to be a definitive treatment of the subject, it is ranter the kind of guide that helps identify tracks found in the snow on a winter walk, or in the mud bordering a stream, on a sandy beach beside a pond of the seashore during a stroll in the spring of summer. Such prints identify their maker and the habits of the animal making them. The many drawings by the author show not only how tracks differ among the species but vary when an animal is walking, running, bounding, or galloping.
