{"product_id":"george-magoon-and-the-down-edward-d-ives-9780252063305","title":"George Magoon and the Down East Game War: History, Folklore, and the Law","description":"George Magoon (1851-1929), a notorious \u003cbr\u003e moose and deer poacher in Maine, was the hero of scores of funny stories of \u003cbr\u003e how he outwitted game wardens. Preserving these oral histories, Edward Ives \u003cbr\u003e documents Magoon's life and explores his significance as a folk hero within \u003cbr\u003e the context of the conservation movement, the cult of the sportsman, and Maine's \u003cbr\u003e increasingly restrictive game laws. \u003cbr\u003e \"A rich and subtle book, an \u003cbr\u003e important work by a major scholar. . . . It is a major contribution to folklore \u003cbr\u003e studies, and to history and American studies as well.\" \u003cbr\u003e -- \u003cb\u003eJournal of American Folklore\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Edward D.
