Eckstorm knew the woods, the animals, and the woodsmen. She was an author, school superintendent, historian, naturalist, taxidermist, and ornithologist. Her writing is descriptive and warm; the words will take you to the woods where she describes the habits of the birds and the character of a fire built from poplar wood. She was diverse in her knowledge and within she adds references to literature and Maine knowledge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Manly Hardy, Fannie's father, was a well-known\u003cstrong\u003e Maine woodsman, fur trader, ornithologist, \u003c\/strong\u003e and respected man of Brewer, Maine. He contributed his own experiences through magazine articles and his journal entries. A few of which are preserved for the reader in this book. However, he took a specific interest in teaching his daughter the ways of the woods, both in survival and in documenting.
