To this day the wild--not the half-tame--Indians remain unequalled as trackers.

Even among the old hunters not one white in a hundred can come near them.

In my experience I have known a very few whites who had spent all their lives in the wilderness who equalled the Indian average; but I never met any white who came up to the very best Indian.

But, because of their better shooting and their better nerve, the whites often make the better hunters.

It is curious how to this day the wild Indians retain the same traits.
