Description
"Fifty Years a Hunter and Trapper" by E. N. Woodcock is an autobiography published in 1913. Drawing from memory, Woodcock recounts his adventures camping, hunting, trapping, and fishing across Northern Pennsylvania's wilderness between 1855 and 1905. Written in plain language, he shares tales of tracking bear and deer, mishaps with partners, camp life incidents, and encounters with wildlife. The book combines compelling stories with practical wilderness wisdom on trap-building, fur preparation, and survival techniques gleaned from five decades in the wild.
