| Summary | "How to Make and Set Traps" by J. Harrington Keene is a practical guide on trapping techniques written in the early 20th century. The book offers detailed instructions on catching various animals, including moles, weasels, rats, squirrels, and birds, along with methods for skinning and curing their pelts. Through its pragmatic approach, the book caters not only to professional trappers but also to amateur enthusiasts interested in nature and wildlife management. At the start of the work, the author introduces the concept of "vermin" and provides a philosophical perspective on the necessity of trapping certain animals when they disturb human habitats. The opening portion focuses particularly on moles, detailing their characteristics, habitats, and the best methods for capturing them. Keene shares anecdotes, observations, and various trap designs, aiming to equip readers with knowledge not only about trapping techniques but also about understanding animal behavior and ecology. He emphasizes the responsibility and ethics involved in trapping, indicating that it should not be taken lightly but rather as a means of maintaining balance in the environment.
