The One-Eyed Poacher of Priviledge by Edmund Ware Smith. Limited Edition. NY: Derrydale Press, 1941. The book is a collection of stories and reminiscences about the author's experiences as a poacher, a person who hunts illegally, in the privileged estates of the East Coast during the early 20th century. The author writes in a humorous and engaging style, sharing his adventures and misadventures as he pursues his quarry in the face of the law and the wealthy landowners who seek to protect their game. The book is illustrated with black and white photographs and drawings, and is a testament to the enduring appeal of hunting and outdoor adventure literature.
