With the respects of Oliver Gibbs Jr." Contents are a series of letters from a former Civil War officer to General Spinner on fishing in Minnesota. From the introduction: "These letters were begun with the purpose of amusing a little band of wild men in Washington who adopting the habits and customs of civilized life were found to be pining for their old sports; and chained to their office work the whole year round by the behests of public duty they were obliged to be led around in some way as these letters took them - On Paper - or starve their gushing fancies altogether except so far as they might be able to subsist upon the memory of what they had done with gun and angle before they came here. General F. E. Spinner Treasurer of the United States was the "Big Indian" of this band. Hence the letters were addressed to him; and it was upon his motion that they were given a wider reading than was first intended through The Spirit of the Times. H. D. McIntyre & Co hardcover

Myers 1902-1989. According to the introductory text preceded by a quote from President Eisenhower these anecdotes "were published in papers from coast to coast. Some came to me from my fellow sportsman some were given to me by guides and many have been gathered over many years by the author." The opening chapter provides a state-by-state directory of whom to write to regarding fishing and hunting laws immediately followed by the bit of sagacity "When fishing for wall-eyed pike with an artificial lure strike as soon as the fish hits the lure for he will drop it immediately after he finds out it is a fake" p. 5. Subsequent chapters cover waterfowl speeds; tips on hunting rabbit woodchuck deer and elk; and "World Oddities of Nature." For example "Beavers do not eat fish although they spend most of their lives in the water. They are strictly vegetarian." Meanwhile "The Rocky Mountain Bighorn Sheep is a clannish animal."<br /> <br /> Not found in OCLC as of August 2021. Myers Enterprises unknown

The Fisheries are the greatest and at present almost the only resource of the West of Ireland. From the loss of the potatoes as a certain means of subsistence the fiishermen would give their undivided time to the Fisheries instead of losing the best seasons by wasting their labour on a high-rented potato garden. They would thus throw an immense quantity of cured food such as Hake Cod Ling Herring Haddock and Coal Fish into the interior of the country while they could dispose of such fish as could not be cured such as Turbot Plaice Mackerel Gurnard John Dorey Ray and Soles at the markets along the coast. The cured fish even with the present limited supply brought to the markets of Westport and Newport County Mayo is sold as low as a penny per lb. free from bone green salted that is not dried and sometimes not so high as a halfpenny per lb. fresh.The company should establish stations along the coast: say they began with three one at Killibegs one at Newport Pratt and one at the Shannon Mouth.From the Store at Ballyshannon I would send fresh fish packed in Ice and also cured fish by water carriage through the Enniskillen Lakes and by the Ulster Canal on to Belfast supplying all the intermediate twons and interior of the country. Chapters in the book include for example: Herring Nets - Buoys - Mode of Curing / Curing the Herring / The Rhodry-More / The Cod Fisheries / Lobster Crab and Cray Fish / Packing Herring etc. etc. hardcover

171521179London 1715. Broadsheet. 1p. plus printed docket title on verso. Disbound. Small folio. Early folds and early stab holes in left margin. Mild foxing. A rare British leaflet from the Fishmonger-Smackman Controversy of 1715. That year a bill was in motion before Parliament that would regulate various aspects of the fishing industry including fish size net use and mesh size and the importation of lobster. The latter issue ignited a significant controversy between and among British fish merchants and lobstermen with the most vocal merchants supporting a clause that would remove a ban on the sale of lobster caught by foreigners. In the present document the pro-free-trade-lobster fishmonger lobby responds to a recent leaflet by fellow fish merchants allied with the smackmen. An early example of commercial lobbying literature which first began proliferating in the lobby of the House of Commons at the time of the accession of King George I and the British general election of 1715.

171521182London 1715. Broadsheet. 1 p. plus printed docket title on verso. Disbound. Small folio. Early folds and early stab holes in left margin. Mild foxing. A rare petition to Parliament relating to a current bill concerning the mesh size of fishing nets used along the coast of Great Britain. The fishing lobby here argues that the clause limiting mesh size to four inches except for use with "Herrings Pilchards Sprats and Sardenas" will prevent the catching of various larger fish and lobster and thereby ruin much of the national fishing industry. They claim that the fishmongers who support the regulation would prefer "to bring in Foreign Fish caught in Foreign Bottoms" and profit from the higher prices. A leaflet published the same year entitled An Answer to the Case of the Coasting Fishermen indicates the present document was authored by the lobsterman lobby. An early example of commercial lobbying literature which first began proliferating in the lobby of the House of Commons at the time of the accession of King George I and the British general election of 1715.

This splendid Edwardian photo album documents the salmon fishing adventures and scenic excursions by the photographer through the pastoral Wye Valley just a few years before the outbreak of World War I. At the beginning of the 20th century the Wye River was considered to be one of the best rivers for salmon fishing in the United Kingdom outside of Scotland and this fishermen definitely enjoyed the beauty and catch to be found. These images capture a largely undeveloped and pastoral Symonds Yat and Wye Valley as it winds along the borders of Herfordshire Gloucestershire and Monmouthshire. Bowman has included images of side-trips along the River Monnow views of mills Llandogo the Hutsham Bridge Grosmont Castle Tintern Abbey the Devil’s Chimney at the Yat Wye Valley ruin of the Llancault Church the oldest house in Monmouth winter floods at the junction of the Monnow and the Wye Rivers winter rapids and more. Also included are scenes of salmon from the Wye the rod and reels used photos of fisherman casting into the Monnow River landing a salmon and even image of fisherman holding two large salmon while braced against a roadside hedge. The salmon fishery on the Wye held up through much of the 20th century before a precipitous decline in the 1980s and 1990s however due to extensive habitat improvement work carried out by the Wye & Usk Foundation to restore spring salmon runs the run has once again climbed but not to the levels of the early 20th century.

This exceptional photo album documents the camping boating fishing & hunting activities of visitors to Henry Hanson’s Squirrel Lake Resort in the early 1900’s after the opening of the Wisconsin Northwoods to tourists. The “Good Roads†movement and encouragement of improved highways and railroad expansion opened the area featuring fabulous fishing beautiful forests mild summer weather and stunning fall colours drawing in Presidents movie stars gangsters and families to Squirrel Lake resorts with resorts such as Hanson’s offering cabins for rent by the week hot meal dining boat rentals dock usage and hunting & fishing guides. This album opens with images of the resort including one handcoloured featuring waving stars & stripes flag boat sheds and canoes pulled up on the beach. Many of the images feature iconic Progressive Era views of families setting on the rustic cabin porches standing beside camp tents and rowing on the lake. Also featured are views of rowers seated in boats proud women & men holding their large Pike Bass & Muscallonge fish caught women & men hunters with shotguns picnic scenes and the bucolic backdrop of the resort. A series of photos reveal the transport of the Squirrel Lake Resort visitors from train station in horse-drawn covered wagon and automobile with one image showing three generations seated on their luggage at the depot. The names of the rustic cottages included “Skin Walk Cottage†and “Ma-Ow-Is†while the erected tents provided extra space. Hanson 1858-1951 moved to Minocqua WI in 1893 where he drove a livery team and by 1912 had established his resort on 37 acres on the shores of Squirrel Lake featuring a main lodge and adding cabins and other buildings from time to time set amidst a rustic setting of Pine Hemlock and Birch Trees on the East Shore of the Lake able to house up to 35 guests. His cabins were lighted by electricity supplied with running water shower baths and the excellent cuisine was furnished by the onsite orchards gardens and Jersey dairy cattle with large poultry supply as well. Initially named “Forest Home†by 1912 it had become Squirrel Lake Resort and he would continue operating it until 1936 when he sold the resort to Ed Perreault. Although we were unable to find a reference to the photographer D.E. Kennedy in local Minocqua WI directories or Wisconsin & Illinois photography references a few of the photos in this album are similar to a couple of the contemporary unsigned real photo postcard images in institutional and private holdings.

1917List1730Chicago: Poole Brothers 1917. Folding map measuring 38 ½ x 26 ¾ inches. Tape repairs to verso some tears at folds and edges still bring and attractive good to very good overall with excellent restoration potential. A map of the canneries in Alaska British Columbia and Washington operated by the Deming and Gould Company who were influential in the growth of the Alaskan salmon trade. The map’s date of printing 1917 suggests that perhaps it was related to the war effort as salmon demand increased during this period. The Demings based in Chicago were influential in the growth of the salmon trade in Alaska and the Pacific Northwest founding Pacific American Fisheries Inc. in 1899 and continuing in various iterations until their sale of the firm in 1934 due to president E.B. Deming’s ailing health. The map shows seventeen different canneries several on the Alaska peninsula and the one in Bellingham. We find no record of this imprint only a later and small version held at the University of Washington. Poole Brothers unknown
