"Anecdotes of the Habits and Instinct of Animals" is a book written by Mary Custis Lee, who despite being chronically ill, wrote about her experiences with animals in the mid-1800s. This book contains stories about unusual interactions between animals and humans, and reflects some attitudes towards the wild and trophy hunting during that time period. Despite containing some unpleasant and gory accounts, Lee's sturdy and radiant faith kept her from turning away. This book offers insightful glimpses into the habits and instincts of animals, and is a valuable read for those interested in the topic."
