Summary: "The Black Moose in Pennsylvania" by Henry W. Shoemaker is a historical account written in the early 20th century, specifically around the year 1917. The book explores the presence and impact of the Black Moose, also referred to as the Original, in Pennsylvania over the centuries. Through fossil records, historical documents, and traditional stories, Shoemaker aims to document the existence, migration, and eventual extinction of this majestic animal in the state. In this book, Shoemaker presents a comprehensive narrative about the Black Moose, drawing on various evidence types to illustrate its presence in Pennsylvania's history. He provides descriptions of encounters between the moose and local hunters, detailing the animal's movements and habits. Several hunters' stories highlight the cultural significance of the moose among Native Americans and early settlers, portraying it as a symbol of pride and respect. The narrative culminates in a reflection on the species' extinction due to hunting and habitat loss, emphasizing the broader themes of conservation and the impact of human activity on wildlife. Through his thorough research and storytelling, Shoemaker not only recounts the history of the Black Moose but also raises awareness of the need to preserve such creatures for future generations.
