First published in 1881, this complete, illustrated guide reveals how to catch everything from tigers and bears to squirrels and mice, and offers general advice on camping and hiking in the woods. Among the treasures within are easy-to-follow plans for building dozens of traps; full directions for the building of shanties and log cabins, and boats and canoes; hints on food and cooking utensils; instructions for the curing and tanning of fur skins; and much, much more.
W. Hamilton Gibson (1850-1896) was an illustrator, author, and naturalist who illustrated for Harper's Monthly and for around a dozen books, most of them his own, including Pastoral Days, Highways and Byways, and Happy Hunting Grounds.
