This copy is a reprint published in 1935 by Enterprise and News St. Johnsville NY. 300 pages. The book relates hunting, trapping and outdoor tales - also interactions with Native Americans. The area covered is in New York state, primarily in the Adirondacks northwest of Albany. Most of the book covers the lives of Nicholas Stoner and Nathaniel Foster. Also some on Sir William Johnson and some others. Much relating to New York state history. Most noteworthy about this book is that many events take place in the late 1700s, much earlier than most other books discussing trapping. An original copy of this book could cost you into the hundreds of dollars. There have been several reprints of this book done over the years. This 1935 edition is very close to the original, to include the gilt illustration on the cover showing a bear in a trap.Following is an excerpt from the book:A description of Nicholas Stoner: "The frontispiece, which gives a good likeness of him at the age of about eighty-three, exhibits him accoutered as a trapper. He usually wore a fur cap when hunting, and a short coat, or cloth roundabout. A belt encircled his waist, at the foot of which was fastened a bullet pouch, and beneath which upon the left side were thrust a hatchet and knife; while under his right arm hung a powder horn of no mean capacity. When trapping for beaver, he was often loaded with a bundle of double-spring steel traps, which were suspended beneath the left arm." Condition of the volume is very good. Name written on first blank page. Otherwise no interior markings or torn pages. No library markings. All text pages clear. Binding sound. Covers and spine very good also, with gilt lettering on spine nice. See photos please. Returns accepted with full refund if you are not satisfied. (You would need to pay return shipping.)
