Phillips about gunning in south-easteern Massachusetts from the 1890s to the late 1920s discussing the changing landscape of the state and its impact on sport: "Recent city or metropolitan development has swarmed out of the old centers and enveloped our ponds with thousands of fomrless and gaudy camps thrown up for the most part without a thought for their appearance either from within or without.
