Whelen, Townsend Wilderness Hunting and Wildcraft, with Notes on the Habits and Life Histories of Big Game Animals
Marshallton, DE Small Arms Technical Publishing Co 1927 First Edition Decorative Cloth Very Good
Navy cloth binding with gilt lettering and blind-stamped moose skull stamped on front boards, gilt lettering on spine. Many photographs and illustrations by the author. Bibliography and appendices. Boards waterstained at lower corners. Whelen was a larger-than-life outdoorsman, who, like Teddy Roosevelt, came from a patrician background and was a spindly lad, later blossoming into a hale and hearty wilderness adventurer after a course of self-improvement in the American and Canadian forests. He was a soldier in the Spanish-American War and served as a Colonel in the 29th Infantry Regiment guarding and mapping the Panama Canal Zone and surrounding rain forest. He was never happier than when he was by himself in the woods, hunting (and sustaining himself on) big and small game, tinkering with guns and ammo and writing his experiences up for his many published articles and books. This volume contains chapters about various game animals, clothing and personal kit, how to make camp beds and shelters (Whelen preferred a lean-to) , rifles, marksmanship, photography and the physical preparation needed to survive extended wilderness outings in all manners of terrain. There are many wonderful photographs of wildlife, dead and alive, and of Whelen posed with various beasts and portions thereof, including a splendid shot of the author with a bull moose head and scalp on his shoulders, "a heavy and awkward load of from 125 to 175 pounds". ; 8vo 8" - 9" tall; 338 pages
