| Catalog Notes | "'Lion Jack' is founded on fact, and his perlous career gives a pretty correct idea of the risks, sacrifices, and thrilling adventures which attend the capturing of savage beasts, birds, and reptiles, in order that they and their habits may be studied by civilized people. The story as written for Frank Leslie's boys' and girls' magazine has been revised, and is now placed in attractive book form by my old friend and publisher, Carleton."--Introductory, p.
