Phillips about gunning in south-easteern Massachusetts from the 1890s to the late 1920s discussing the changing landscape of the state and its impact on sport: "Recent city or metropolitan development has swarmed out of the old centers and enveloped our ponds with thousands of fomrless and gaudy camps thrown up for the most part without a thought for their appearance either from within or without. The old duck stands are gradually bein pushed to the wall and except where a few owners can afford to hold large stretches of shore-line they must eventually be replaced by summer homes. These notes are a first attempt to preserve a record fragmentary at best of the location history and when possible performances of some of these duck stands".

Original Drawing by Gordon Ross. Gordon Ross 1873-1946 was a prolific artist working mostly in watercolor from his early days in his native Scotland. As a book artist he tackled everything from Dickens to Shakespeare including a number of titles for The Limited Editions Club. He is also noted for his sporting work which included illustrations for The Derrydale Press Surtees's Jorrocks Jaunts and Jolities and several large prints of notable sportsmen including Sir Thomas Lipton Hugo Meynell Peter Beckford and Surtees himself. The eminent collector A. Edward Newton who wrote the introduction to the Surtees edition praised Ross in his book End Papers: "No one now living in Great Britain and doing work in his line can compare with Gordon Ross now living in New York.He has no living superior; I doubt if he has his equal for the very quality needed to illustrate a humorous classic." A superb draftsman with a gift for portraiture Ross's work has an ingratiating quality of lively elegance; his originals very seldom come on the market. unknown‎
