Download or read book Hunting and Trapping on the Upper Magalloway River and Parmachenee Lake written by Fred C. Barker and published by No Series Linked. This book was released on 1882 with total page 254 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This plain-spoken account of two hunters who spent a winter roaming the wilds of Maine in 1877 is a deeply insightful account of the hunting and trapping life. Quality furs were constantly in demand throughout the 19th century, with pelts from larger animals such as bears highly sought after. Groups of men experienced in the outdoors would venture on expeditions lasting months, trapping and hunting small and large creatures. Barker and Danforth describe surviving in the wilderness for an extended time, often eating the meat from caribou they had hunted, while drying the furs that they be fit for sale. The pair possess skills in crafting a variety of traps and both can handle the rifle - a weapon which revolutionized game hunting. From the outset, the authors state they wish to present the hunter's life in an unromantic, frank, and unvarnished way. The arduous work of collecting pelts, pursuing game, and keeping themselves fed and sheltered is described, with the landscape and wooded areas of the Maine wilderness baldly accounted for, its rugged beauty rarely acknowledged. Yet a brotherly bond developed between the men, and at the conclusion of the season's hunt they vow to return next year. The final page of this book includes the authors' receipt for the mink, beaver, muskrat and bear furs sold to traders in Boston.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Since its founding four hundred years ago, New England has been a vital source of nature writing. Maybe it’s the diversity of landscapes huddled so close together or the marriage of nature and culture in a relatively small, six-state region. Maybe it’s the regenerative powers of the ecosystem in a place of repeated exploitations. Or maybe we have simply been thinking about our relationship with the natural world longer than everyone. If all successive nature writing is a footnote to Henry David Thoreau, then New England has a strong claim to being the birthplace of the genre. But there are, as the sixty entries in this anthology demonstrate, many other regional voices that extol the wonders and beauty of the outdoors, explore local ecology, and call for environmental sustainability. Between these covers, Noah Webster calls for our stewardship of nature and Lydia Sigourney finds sublime pleasure in it. Jonathan Edwards and Helen Keller both find miracles, while Samuel Peters and Mark Twain find humor. Author Nathaniel Hawthorne discovers a place to hide his metaphors, while the enslaved James Mars discovers an actual hiding place. Through it all is the apprehension of a profound and lasting splendor, “the glory of physical nature,” as W.E.B. Dubois calls it, something beyond our everyday concerns and yet tied so closely to our daily lives that we cannot escape it. Nature writing cultivates our sense of beauty, inflaming curiosity and the passion to explore. It opens us to deep, primal experiences that enrich life. Anyone wanting to understand our relationship with the world must start here.
