Illustrated with a manuscript plan of the 1899 camp and a map accomplished in red ink and pencil for the 1901 hunt. 174 pp. as described serially in manuscript in an Excelsior Diary ignoring the printed dates approximately 10000 words. 1 vols. Narrow agenda 12mo. An excellent series of accounts of seven three-week deer hunts in Canada late October to mid-November 1897-1902 with names of the members of the hunting parties and a table by hunter of the game bag. Livermore a resident of Newark Valley New York travelled to Canada each year with a group of friends to hunt deer at a camp near Uffington Ontario; his diaries 20-40 pages for each hunt provide a brief account for each day's activities without much of a narrative thread mostly devoted to the hunting with notes on deer seen shot at and bagged. Also included are extensive notes on transportation to and from the camp other wildlife encountered on the hunt anecdotes e.g. a hound returning to camp with a nose full of porcupine quills some expense accounting and camp life. Livermore and his ten or so comrades most of whom hailed from Ottawa or Toronto bagged an average of 20 deer a year over the six hunts with a high of 30 in 1899 and 1900 the kill including bucks does and fawns rather indiscriminately. From the 1897 trip: "A.E. Bradstreet shot a fine doe 2-year old in narrows from upper pine near Burnt lake. Called for me to dress it. 1898: "I went with Mr. Miller North East of camp to a new watch & shot the first deer of the season at 8:30 & a fawn on same morning about 9:30." 1899: "Paddy Regan killed a very large buck yesterday in Rat lake weighed 240 pounds." 1900: "Weather very warm went bathing in lake today. Had plenty of fresh fish from lake perch bull heads chubs also some trout." 1901: "F. Smith shot a fine 5 i.e. 10 pt. buck at head of Jean Lake." 1902: "I went to pt. between watches on Jean Lake North side at 8:30 just landed I see a small Buck fawn 'fine one' crossing outlet of Jean went after him & made a finish at first watch on Stoney Creek." Though lacking a narrative thread this is a revealing manuscript giving the day to day details from a series of deer hunting trips to Canada at the turn of the 20th century. The first 60 days of the diary have entries in real time mostly devoted to Livernore's day job as a clerk in a shoe store and for example an 1892 visit to New York City; the manuscript is quite legible and very good throughout. unknown books
