Book Reviews of Maine's Hunting Past (ME) (Images of America)
Book Review: Look back at Yankees of old.
Summary: 4 Stars
The writer does an excellent job of putting photos together with facts and places to illustrate what hunting was like when "sports" from the city (New York, Boston, Providence) came to the great north woods to hunt. Coming to places by train must've added to the adventure.
Summary of Maine's Hunting Past (ME) (Images of America)
Maine has long been a well-known and frequently visited hunting region. Long ago, moose and caribou were abundant and as time passed, trappers have been able to earn a decent living pursuing choice and prized fur-bearing animals. Small game and waterfowl populations remained fairly stable over the years and have continued to increase in popularity. However, as large areas of habitat were cleared for timber, larger animals began to disappear and populations dwindled. Trapping has since become a less favorable mode of producing income because of the low prices offered for native and raw fur. Maine's Hunting Past captures the pursuit of wild animals through a century of documentation. Since about 1850, animals have been taken for sport, for food, and for their hides. Hunting has long been not only a sport but also an industry, resulting in the increase and growth of sporting camps and an expanding number of guides. Maine's Hunting Past highlights favorite regions, featuring famous sporting camps and well-known guides. Big game, small game, upland birds, waterfowl, furbearers, and numerous photographs of trophy animals and large bag limits are all included.State & Local Books
