In this episode, we're revisiting a fascinating article from Forest and Stream Magazine, published in 1892. Richard Gear Hobbs takes us on a fishing trip to the Northwoods, offering a unique snapshot of late 19th-century life in America's wilderness. From fishing on the Manitowish River to encountering the hardy lumbermen of the region, Hobbs' account provides a rich window into the outdoor culture and the challenges of the time. From the wonderful narration of Sara Krembs, we will dive into this historical account and explore what these experiences can teach us about the past.
