George Magoon And The Down East Game War: History, Folklore, And The Law (Folklore And Society)
George Magoon And The Down East Game War: History, Folklore, And The Law (Folklore And Society)
George Magoon (1851-1929), a notorious
moose and deer poacher in Maine, was the hero of scores of funny stories of
how he outwitted game wardens. Preserving these oral histories, Edward Ives
documents Magoon's life and explores his significance as a folk hero within
the context of the conservation movement, the cult of the sportsman, and Maine's
increasingly restrictive game laws.
"A rich and subtle book, an
important work by a major scholar. . . . It is a major contribution to folklore
studies, and to history and American studies as well."
-- Journal of American Folklore
