        <![CDATA[ Hi I just picked up a first edition and signed copy of the William Mershon&#39;s book Recollections of my Fifty Years Hunting and Fishing at a garage sale.
Though I am a avid book collector I have never heard of William Mershon and was shocked when I looked up the value of the book. It is a good read especially
when he devotes a chapter to catching grayling in Michigan.


Can anyone out there shed any light on why this book is so expensive and can anyone recommend a book collector of dealer... ]]>

			<description><![CDATA[ Dewardian    Thanks for the overview of Mershon. It&#39;s represented in his book but I did not know he was also a great advocate for the common man. The book
is a fun read and the old pictures of the hunting trips and the little locomotive used for fishing and hunting trips was impressive. Really liked the history

<br>
I had no idea the book was so collectible when I bought it.
<br>
<br>
Thanks Bob ]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[ Willliam B Mershon was one of Saginaw Michigans&#39; lumber barons.  More money came out of the Saginaw Valley than all the gold mined in California. Saginaw
was a center for this trade, its timber rebuilt Chicago after the fire, and supplied much of the lumber for the western expansion.
<br>
He was a conservationist who had a strong interest in hunting and fishing, and for his trips out west he had his own pullman car to transport him and his
friends. He also had a lodge on the north branch... ]]></description>
