About this Item
Brown cloth-backed boards with cover title in gilt; 8vo; 130pp; not illustrated; limited to 100 unnumbered copies. A salmon fishing trip to the Jupiter River, Anticosti Island, Quebec, Canada in the summer of 1933. There were 5 sports present: Ward, Douglas, McCloy, Lowery and Belknap, the president of Consolidated Paper, whom the previous four met in Montreal and convinced him to join the party. A successful venture indeed, as nearly 150 salmon were taken. Although Lowery's name is not listed as the author, it is assumed he is the "keeper of the records." An appendix at end of book lists all the anglers, the pools and their catches. One of only a handful of books written about salmon fishing at Anticosti. This copy in very good condition with slight rubbing along extremities, internally clean and inscribed by McCloy one of the sports. Seller Inventory # 006094
