Deadfalls and Snares by A. R. Harding

"Deadfalls and Snares" by A. R. Harding is an instructional book published in 1907. This practical guide teaches trappers how to construct homemade traps from natural materials like logs, boards, and rocks to catch furbearing animals. The book features fifty detailed drawings and instructions from experienced American and Canadian trappers, covering everything from building various deadfall designs to skinning pelts. Harding addresses a knowledge gap among early twentieth-century trappers, presenting deadfalls as humane, effective, and economical alternatives to steel traps.
