E. N. Woodcock

E. N. Woodcock, also known as Eldred Nathaniel Woodcock (1846-1917), wasn't a prolific author in the traditional sense, but a legendary hunter and trapper who documented his experiences. Here's what we know about him:

• Hunter and Trapper: Woodcock hailed from Potter County, Pennsylvania, and was renowned for his skills in hunting and trapping.
• Sharing his Knowledge: He wasn't content to keep his experiences to himself. Between 1903 and 1913, he shared his stories and insights in the Hunter-Trader-Trapper Magazine.
• From Magazine to Book: These published articles were later compiled into a book titled "Fifty Years a Hunter and Trapper" in 1913. This book served as a testament to his five decades spent living off the land and his expertise in the wilderness.
• Legacy: While not a prolific writer in the traditional sense, Woodcock's book offers a valuable perspective on a bygone era and the life of a skilled outdoorsman.
