Shooting Stands of Eastern Massachusetts is a historical book written by John C. Phillips in 1929. The book is a comprehensive guide to the shooting stands that were present in the eastern part of Massachusetts during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The author provides detailed descriptions of each stand, including its location, history, and the types of shooting activities that took place there. The book also includes photographs and illustrations of the stands, as well as information on the equipment and firearms used by the shooters. The author's passion for the subject is evident throughout the book, making it an interesting read for anyone interested in the history of shooting in Massachusetts. Overall, Shooting Stands of Eastern Massachusetts is an informative and engaging book that provides a fascinating glimpse into a bygone era of shooting sports.Shooting stands were permanent enclosed structures with connecting walls or embankments constructed along the shores of ponds and lakes of eastern Massachusetts for waterfowl hunting. Such stands were concealed by brush and reeds, and decoys, both live and wooden, were placed before them to attract passing ducks, geese, and other water birds. Stand owners often kept daily records of the species and numbers of birds shot, the participating hunters, weather conditions, and performance of decoys and retrieving dogs. John Phillips was well known and regarded in the Boston area sporting fraternity, so he personally knew or knew of many of the shooting stand owners. This facilitated his obtaining access to these precious records. The shooting stand records he gathered, edited, and published filled what otherwise would have been a significant void in the literature of North American waterfowl hunting. Phillips was closely associated with the Boone and Crockett Club, the American Committee for International Wildlife Protection, the International Union for the Protection of Wildlife, and other conservation organizations too numerous to mention. Of his varied interests, probably none surpassed that in waterfowl, and their hunting, history, and conservation.--Henry M. Reeves.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
