Phillips������� Wenham Lake Shooting Record and the �������Farm Bag, 1897-1925 ranks high among the few North American journals that documented waterfowl hunting effort and success in North America at a specific locality(s) for an extend period of time. The place and time is Wenham Lake, about 23 miles north of Boston, Massachusetts, during the 1897-1925 era. John C. Phillips today is widely remembered as a leading American conservationist. The enormous amount of time, energy, and money Phillips expended behind the scenes in promoting waterfowl knowledge and conservation both nationally and internationally is almost totally undocumented. He was actively associated with the Boone and Crockett Club, the American Committee for International Wildlife Protection, the International Union for the Protection of Wildlife, and other conservation organizations too numerous to mention. Of his varied interests, probably none surpassed that in waterfowl, and their hunting, history, and conservation.--Henry M.
