Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book began as a collection of articles that appeared in a sporting magazine in the late 1800s. In the last years of the 19th century, big game hunting was transitioning away from the days of market hunting to the birth of the modern era of conservation and the hunting and fishing as a sport. The author was a passionate sportsman and used his writing to explore many aspects of the burgeoning revolution in the sporting landscape. The pieces collected in this book offer a fascinating glimpse into the transition from market hunting to sport hunting while blending in local lore, history, and personal anecdotes. The book provides an interesting opportunity to examine the period just prior to the establishment of the National Park system and Progressive Era reforms that reshaped the American relationship with nature. As a bonus, many of the selections within include details on Native American life in the Northeast and Great Lakes regions.
