Record of three seasons at the Micmac Salmon Club on the Matapedia where it joins the Restigouche river with 178 records of daily weather and river conditions participants and pools fished salmon and grilse caught as well as the ones that got away weights flies used and other notes on moods Poems to the Club House Kitten friends and fisherman passing through and other incidents. The cover of the log book reads "Fishermen will please record in the book each salmon or grilse he has killed during the day. Give weight of each where killed Time of Day Direction of Wind Condition of river and sign. Please state number of trought caught and weight of the fish and place where caught." The most prolific contributor to the log was Dr. Jedediah H.

He wrote some 99 entries and signed many others. James L. High American attorney wrote 29 entries and signed records of kills. One day such heavy quantities of logs came down that Baxter had to abandon fishing; on other days visible discharges of sawdust from upriver were a nuisance. On 15 July 1887 J.M. Oliver fishing along near the end of the Island pool was threatened with violence by the Superintendant of the Restigouche Club if he didn't get over to the other side of the water. "Notwithstanding Robinson's scaring" Oliver returned to the same pool the next day and caught a 23-lb. salmon and hooked a much larger one. Discussions with members of the club Robert Goelet owner of Toadbrook Lodge and Mr. Penfold followed "They said they were advised by counsel McAllister of Campbellton that our right extended not to the thread of the stream but the middle of the water surface" and declined to "adjust" matters; a long letter was sent to the Executive Committee of the Ristigouche Club at 120 Broadway in New York. Other anglers at the Club waters include Senators O.H. Platt of Connecticut Wade Hampton of South Carolina and George Edmunds of Vermont with wife and daughter; angling author J.A. Henshall The Book of the Black Bass Favorite Fish and Fishing etc. and his friend Dr. W.W.

Miech Rob signed
The Last Natural: Bryce Harper's Big Gamble in Sin City and the Greatest Amateur Season Ever
New York: St. Martin's Press / Thomas Dunne Books 2012. INSCRIBED & SIGNED by the AUTHOR directly on the front free endpaper. The long inscription to a "Justin" fills most of the page and explains how the author is "indebted to you for starting the magazine" and tells how he came to write the book. Very Near Fine condition in a Very Near Fine dust jacket. NO chips or tears. Sharp corners. Laid in are the author's business card promoting this book and a bookmark from the publisher doing the same. First Printing with "First Edition" so stated and complete number row on the copyright page 10 987654321. From the dust jacket: "Before Bryce Harper was the top pick in the Major League Baseball draft before he signed the sport's biggest contract ever for a first-year pro he gambled his future on one make-or-break season. The Las Vegas High School sophomore already had dominated the competition like Mickey Mantle on the playground and appeared on the cover of SPORTS ILLUSTRATED which dubbed him the 'most exciting prodigy since LeBron James.' Seeking greater tests as a hitter the precocious phenom got his GED and enrolled at the College of Southern Nevada where he could face pro prospects in a challenging wooden-bat league that prohibited the hitter-friendly aluminum bats used throughout college ball. Harper shattered the school's home run record with 31 the previous mark was 12 and compiled a startling 1.513 OPS while leading his team to the Junior College World Series. For his heroics the 17-year-old became the only position player from a junior college to win the Golden Spikes Award given to the nation's best amateur baseball player. Las Vegas sportswriter Rob Miech was 'embedded' with the Southern Nevada Coyotes team and brings us along for the ride - into the dugout and locker room and on team buses and in motel rooms from the scorched fields to the snow-capped horizons of the Scenic West Athletic Conference - to deliver a warts-and-all account of a boy among men playing like a man among boys. Amid the media circus that descended upon team and town we read fascinating personal stories including the dynamics between veteran coach Tim Chambers and Harper's protective father the camaraderie with - and jealousies of - other players the fans and autograph seekers and girls who all want a piece of the young star and how Harper is suspended from the World Series after protesting an umpire's call and the role his faith plays in his life. THE LAST NATURAL shows us a season in the life of baseball's top rising star culminating in a dramatic conclusion when Harper is drafted #1 by the Washington Nationals and after tense negotiations that go up until just seconds before the midnight deadline signs a $9.9 million contract. Even more than this Miech's book is the story of a team and its community the hopes and aspirations of its players and coaches and the spirit of pure baseball that lies at the heart of the American dream." . INSCRIBED & SIGNED by the AUTHOR. First Printing of the First Edition. Hardcover. Very Near Fine condition/Very Near Fine dust jacket. 8vo. viii 356pp. Great Packaging Fast Shipping.
