About This Item
Cornelia Thurza Crosby's remarkable life (1854-1946) gave rise to a certain amount of legend: six feet tall in her stockinged feet, she was the first woman to legally shoot a caribou in Maine, held the first Maine Guide license issued, caught 200 trout in one day (she was an early advocate of catch-and-release), did not believe women should have the vote, was rumored to have shot against Annie Oakley in a sharpshooting competition, and worked tirelessly to promote the sporting life in Maine. This insightful biography is complemented by over a hundred turn-of-the-century photographs, paired with excerpts from Fly Rod's writings, to create a fascinating picture of the Maine woods and one of Maine's most unusual women.
