Albert Burton Farnham

Albert Burton Farnham was an American writer on outdoor crafts in the early twentieth century, associated with the trapping and hunting press of the period. He is known for a group of practical handbooks published by A. R. Harding of Columbus, Ohio, among them Home Taxidermy for Pleasure and Profit, Home Manufacture of Furs and Skins, and a guide to the care of game animals and trophies. His books are addressed to farmers, trappers and amateurs rather than to professionals, and they describe the tools, chemicals and methods of the trade in plain, step-by-step language with the author's own drawings.
