Fly Rod Crosby: The Woman Who
Marketed Maine. By Julia A. Hunter
and Earle G. Shettleworth, Jr. Published with the Maine State
Museum. Cornelia Thurza Crosby's remarkable life (1854-1946)
gave rise to a certain amount of legend: six feet tall in
her stockinged feet she was the first woman to legally shoot
a
caribou in Maine, held the first Maine Guide license issued,
caught 200 trout in one day (she was an early advocate of
catch-and-release), did not believe women should have the
vote, was rumored to
have shot against Annie Oakley in a sharpshooting competition,
and worked tirelessly to promote the sporting life in Maine.
This insightful biography is complemented by over a hundred
turn-of-the century photographs, paired with excerpts from
Fly Rod's writings, to create a fascinating picture of the
Maine woods and one of Maine's most unusual women. 8 1/4
x 9 1/4, 224 pages, 120 b&w photos. Paperback - $25. |
