Fly Rod Crosby: The Woman Who Marketed Maine
Cornelia Thurza Crosby (1854-1946) stood six feet tall, was the first woman to legally shoot a caribou in Maine, held the first issued Maine Guide license, caught 200 trout in one day (she was an early advocate of catch-and-release), did not believe women should have the vote, was friends with Annie Oakley, and worked tirelessly to promote the sporting life in Maine. Over a hundred turn-of-the-century photographs, with excerpts from Crosby's journals, letters, and publications, create a fascinating picture of the Maine woods and one of Maine's most unusual women.
