Free The Travel Journals Of Tappan Adney, 1887-1890 Ebooks To Download
In 1887, at the age of just 18, intellectually and artistically gifted American Tappan Adney embarked on his first trip to New Brunswick. He had plans to enrol at Columbia University in the fall, primed for a meteoric rise in academia — but fate intervened. He fell under the spell of the wilderness of Maine, New Brunswick, and Nova Scotia, and the local Maliseet people. Nothing escaped his curiosity, Adney embarked on hunting, fishing, and camping trips with Humboldt (Hum) Sharp, his future brother-in-law; Peter Joseph, who would become his Maliseet mentor; and Purps, Hum's hunting dog. Adney recorded his wilderness adventures in his journals through evocative sketches and memorable prose, including the detail of a caribou hunt decades before their extinction in this area of the country. Tappan Adney's writings, illustrations, and photographs were published in Harper's Magazine. His models of aboriginal canoes, now in many museum collections, helped save the birchbark canoe from oblivion.

mr. adney appears to be one of those trust fund hippies of the 1800's just going out and playing with dad's money as far as i could see. he can't use an ax or shoot. didn't give much info on the maliseet indians. said he identifies maliseet names for birds but he does not in this book. a disappointment to say the least.
A book that details the small bits and pieces of traveling in the early years of the settlement of Canada-I recommend this to the history buff who likes to read about the woods and waters of our provinces
Tappan Adney is a relative thru my paternal genealogy side, and his canoes are in a New York museum.Thought it would be nice to have his books for my children and grandchildren to read. Wish I could have gotten them in hard copy and one of the orginial printings.
