Produktbeschreibung
Between 1887 and 1896, a young Tappan Adney ventured into the uncharted New Brunswick wilderness, writing, sketching, and photographing all that caugth his attention. He learned about the Maliseet people, recorded their names for plants and animals, took detailed notes on their technology -- snowshoes, snares, and birchbark canoes -- and commented astutely on the sometimes difficult relationships between Natives and newcomers. Presenting the third, fourth, and fifth of Adney's journals, The Travel Journals of Tappan Adney: Vol. 2, 1891-1896 vividly narrates Adney's continuing travels in western New Brunswick, relating tales of hunting, trapping, and fishing with an assortment of colourful characters from lumberjacks and hunting guides to members of parliament, including a moose-hunting expedition on behalf of the American Museum of Natural History. This volume, like its predecessor, preserves Adney's distinctive style and the idioms and spellings of the period. It also includes reproductions of his original sketches and numerous photographs.
