Excerpt from The Protection of Game in Tennessee
I have been thinking for years that something could and ought to be done for the protection of game in our beautiful country. Unless steps are soon taken in the matter, we will wake up to the subject when it is too late; for the fish are fast failing in the smaller streams, and the birds are being swept from our fields and woods; while if proper steps were taken at present, in ten years Tennessee would be one of the most interesting countries for game in the world. The thousands of small streams that thread our country in every direction, are every way suitable for the raising of fish, and in point of latitude we have the advantage of all countries either north or south of us. If you go far south of us, the water in the small streams becomes too warm and unhealthy during the summer months; and further north there is too much frost in the winter and the raising season is too short. So that ours is the very latitude for the multiplication and growth of the finny tribe.
As to birds, Tennessee ought to be the home of the birds. We have the finest forests in the world, which are their natural homes. In prairie countries, nothing could be done to protect them long; but in Tennessee, nothing but a wicked abuse of this blessing of heaven will drive them from our fields and forests, while a very little protection would soon make this country the land of birds.
With respect to fish, it is known to all who have thought on the subject at all, that the small streams are nurseries of fish, and that if they are driven from the creeks and branches, or destroyed, they will soon fail in the large streams.
