Summary
Details

""Shooting Stands of Eastern Massachusetts"" is a comprehensive historical and geographical survey of the waterfowl hunting traditions that defined the coastal and inland waters of New England in the early 20th century. This meticulously researched work provides an exhaustive catalog of shooting stands-permanent structures and locations used primarily for the pursuit of ducks and geese-across the eastern part of the state.

The book documents specific locations, ownership histories, and seasonal catch records, offering a unique perspective on the sporting culture and environmental conditions of the era. John C. Phillips provides detailed accounts of the techniques and equipment utilized by hunters, while also recording the migratory patterns of various bird species before significant environmental changes occurred in the region. The text serves as both a record of local heritage and a study in ornithology and field sports.

Valuable to historians, conservationists, and hunting enthusiasts alike, ""Shooting Stands of Eastern Massachusetts"" preserves the legacy of a specialized recreational practice. It captures the social and ecological atmosphere of the Massachusetts wilderness, providing a primary source for understanding the evolution of wildlife management and the historical importance of the sporting life in American culture.
