B. Marston, F. G. Aflalo, plus others, and strategically from the American perspective, Theodore Gordon (1864-1915). Mr. Gordon's contribution "American Trout Fishing" was his only published writing to appear in a book in his lifetime.

Just a touch of rubbing at the edges and a bit of foxing to the preliminaries, otherwise a clean, near fine book.
