The Black Phantom
by Leo E. Miller
The Black Phantom is a children's fiction work written by Leo Edward Miller. The dried or mounted skins of animals from out-of-the-way places are familiar to every one who has visited museums and other similar institutions. But, no matter how cleverly arranged, they suggest comparatively little of the creatures’ real appearance in their native environment.
The comedies, the tragedies, and the life stories of the untrammelled wild creatures are infinitely more fascinating than a survey of their lifeless and often faded forms, only too frequently collected by the hundreds with little other thought than that of classification or the possession first of rare or undescribed species. It was with the view of bringing to light the home life of some of the jungle’s inhabitants that “The Black Phantom” was written.
