The Trapper's Guide - A Manual Of Instructions

Originally published in 1867. The author was the designer and manufacturer of the famous Newhouse range of animal traps. This well illustrated book contains detailed chapters on: - Capturing All Kinds of Fur Bearing Animals - Curing Their Skins - Observations on the Fur Trade - Hints on Life in the Woods - Narratives on Trapping and Hunting - History of the Newhouse Trap - Fishing in Autumn and Winter - Food Hunting - Boat Building etc. Many of the earliest hunting and shooting books, particularly those dating back to the 1900s and before, are now extremely scarce and increasingly expensive. Home Farm Books are republishing many of these classic works in affordable, high quality, modern editions, using the original text and artwork.
