newspaper article from The Ledger, Mechanic Falls ME ,
Vol II No 27, Thursday November 5, 1885 [from the collection of Carolyn
(Crockett) Edwards]
West Poland
Fairfield Edwards of Johnson Hill is becoming famous
as the champion skunk-hunter of this section of the country. Nearly all
of his evenings are spent in hunting this festive animal, and the
incense which is the result of a capture, wafted on the evening breeze,
tell to the people of the surrounding hamlet, through the delicate
sensebilities of their nasal organs, that another of these _____ field
desperados has been laid low. He has decorated the exterior of his
father's barn with some less than a hundred hides, eight or ten of
which are rare specimens, being entirely black or nearly so. All the
old "Rock & Rye" bottles he could scare up in the neighborhood
he has filled with the animal's precious oil, which we are told acts
like a healing balm for all the aches and pains incident to humanity.
He is largely aided in his hunting by his faithful dog, who usually
bears the brunt of the battle. The delight evinced by this renowned
hunter in bearing home these "loud smelling" trophies is not less than
that described as shown by Buffalo Bill when he swung aloft the first
scalp for the revenge of the death of Gen. Custer.
