The Salmon Fishery of Penobscot Bay and River in 1895-96 by Hugh M. Smith offers a detailed historical account of the salmon populations and fishing practices in the Penobscot region at the turn of the 20th century. This scientific monograph, originally published in 1896, presents data and observations from a critical period, examining the state of Atlantic salmon in this vital Maine watershed. Smith, a prominent ichthyologist and fisheries administrator, provides an in-depth look at the biological, economic, and ecological factors influencing the salmon fishery during this specific timeframe. Researchers, historians, and those interested in the environmental history of Maine and the Atlantic salmon will find this volume to be an important primary source.
