The Trapper’s Guide: A Manual Of Instructions For Capturing All Kinds Of Fur-Bearing Animals, And Curing Their Skins; With Observations On The Fur Trade, Hints On Life In The Woods, And Narratives Of Trapping And Hunting Excursions by S. Newhouse. This 1865 manual assembled and edited for practical working trappers and outdoor enthusiasts combines technical instruction with observations on the fur-trade and narratives from seasoned woodsmen. Organized into sections on trap-making, the capture of a wide range of fur-bearing species, and the curing of skins, it emphasizes steel traps as the preferred method and explains devices such as spring-poles, sliding-poles, and clogs to protect catches and preserve fur. It also covers outfitting for campaigns, life in the woods, and camp cooking, alongside Noyes’s editorial additions and historical notes on the Newhouse trap and its development within the Oneida Community. The work aims to equip readers with practical trapping skills, market context, and enduring woodcraft know-how.
