| Summary | "The Accomplished Muskrat Trapper: A Book on Trapping for Amateurs" by A. E. Schmidt is a practical guide focused on the art of muskrat trapping, written in the early 20th century, likely during the 1920s. This book serves as an instructional resource for amateur trappers, detailing effective techniques and methods for trapping muskrats in various environments. The author aims to fill a gap in previously published materials by addressing both the act of trapping and the grading of raw furs, specifically emphasizing the muskrat as an accessible target for beginners. The content of the book is structured into several chapters, beginning with an exploration of the muskrat's habits and habitat. Schmidt outlines various trapping methods applicable for open water and under ice, demonstrating the seasonal adjustments trappers must make. In addition, he delves into the concept of 'rat ranching’ as a means of sustainable fur production and emphasizes proper handling, grading, and marketing of muskrat fur to maximize profit. The guide combines personal anecdotes with practical advice, ensuring that readers can increase their success in trapping while also understanding the ecological and economic implications of their activities.
