Excerpt from Diary of Daniel E. Heywood: A Parmachenee Guide at Camp Caribou, Parmachenee Lake, Oxford Co, , Maine, Fall of 1890I came to Rump Pond to-day with my traps and some supplies. I poled a boat up the river over Rump Falls. I found it good practice for poling as well as a good test for the setting pole. It began with coarse gravel, broad and shallow, but finally it became more narrow, and big rocks with white water and ledges. I had to get out and lift the boat over just one place. I was two hours rowing up, from the time I laid down my paddle and took my setting-pole. I took both boats up to Billings' Ponds, dragged one over and put it in the pond to use on the beaver. I found their house, it is a big one, with lots of wood put in around it, mostly maple, round wood and alders. I set one trap kind of easy. I didn't have much time to spare and no stonesto fasten on the traps, so I left them till to-morrow. Got three rats last night and the nose of another. The sky has clouded over to-day, - been all day about it, - and I hear it raining outside now, so I guess it will rain enough to morrow to wash out the tracks I make setting my traps.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
