About this title

Synopsis

Natural History Of Western Wild Animals And Guide For Hunters, Trappers, And Sportsmen by David W. Cartwright. Natural History Of Western Wild Animals And Guide For Hunters, Trappers, And Sportsmen presents a practical manual blending natural history with hunting and trapping guidance. Written with involvement from Mary F. Bailey (dictation via Bailey) and published in 1875, the work merges observations on the art of hunting and trapping with descriptions of the physical structure, homes, and habits of fur-bearing animals and other North American species, together with general and specific rules for capture. It intersperses chapters on the hunter’s craft, useful woodcraft hints, and detailed species sections (deer, antelope, bison, beaver, otter, weasels, bears, foxes, wolves, cats, lynx, and others), alongside narratives of personal adventures such as My First Fox Hunt, My First Bear Hunt, a Tramp to California, and trips to Lake Superior and Minnesota. The book targets practical woodsmen, offering a blend of science, experience, and market awareness for pursuing fur-bearing wildlife across North America.
