Fishing on the Dennys River

Description

A collection of images of fishermen (and women) and their catches reproduced from "Salmon on the Dennys, 1786-1988" by Ed Bartlett and Ray Robinson, printed by the Ellsworth American, 1988. A hand-written note from Benjamín Lincoln, manager of the Lincoln Mills, invites a friend to come and fish for salmon on the Dennys River in June, 1882. An additional image of a Passamaquoddy guide helping a fly-fisherman land his catch, reveals a traditional role of native peoples on the Dennys River.
