I was sent this old trapping book by a new friend, this item was with other trapping items that are still under review. This book was written in 1875, the methods are very old school but revelent for its day. In mint condition this book has been found on the internet for $200 to $300 (in mint), in its present condition it can be found fo r$10 to $50. It is s till trapping history and deserves a place in a collection. I am very happy to be its custodian for awhile.
