Recreation, Volume 17, published in 1902, offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of outdoor sports and recreation at the turn of the 20th century. This volume, compiled by George O. Shields, along with contributions from the American Canoe Association and the League Of American Sportsmen, captures the spirit of adventure and the growing interest in conservation during this period.
Readers will find articles and reports on a wide range of recreational activities, from canoeing and fishing to hunting and camping. The journal also highlights the importance of wildlife preservation and the role of sportsmen in protecting natural resources. With its rich detail and period photographs, "Recreation" provides valuable insights into the history of American outdoor culture and the early conservation movement.
