Wednesday, February 22, 2006Manly Hardy would not have understood what happened this week at the Maine Legislature. A 19th century businessman from Brewer, Hardy died in 1910 after spending much of his life hunting, trapping, fishing, exploring and observing nature in the north woods.
William B. Krohn, a wildlife research biologist with the U.S. Geological Survey stationed at the University of Maine, Orono, and leader of Maine's Cooperative Fish and Wildlife Research Unit, has written a fascinating biography of Hardy, who was the father of Maine historian Fannie Hardy Eckstorm. The book was published by the Maine Folklife Center in Orono last year.
Krohn presents Hardy in his own words. After a brief interesting biography, the author offers a selection of Hardy's columns published in Forest and Stream, a popular outdoor and natural history paper of its time.
It looks interesting and I was wondering if anyone has read it. Read the entire article here.
