Über das Buch
By accident I came across Traplines and Trails, A Book of Master Trapping Methods, written in 1925 by E. J. Dailey, in a pile of free books at the local library. Certainly the charming appointment of the book with its childlike Edwardian typeface, soft vellum paper, and black and white photographs was seductive and disarming; the folksy tone of the language describing the “gentle art of trapping” and the “call of the trails” was a stark contrast to the grainy photos of animals caught live in leghold traps.
