A historical look at and current guide to the Cains River in New Brunswick. There is almost a mystical aura surrounding the Cains and its Atlantic salmon and brook trout fishery. Only about a third of it was ever settled and then lightly, and by the middle of the twentieth century settlers had all given up and the river reverted to completely wild, which it still is today. The book also explores the Cains’s relationship with the Miramichi River, in particular the Black Brook, the biggest and most productive pool on the river. In low water, a substantial portion of the Cains’s fall run of fish stacks up there waiting for rain.

A summary of relevant data on the physical characteristics of the rivers and their fish populations, with emphasis on Atlantic salmon. Emphasis is also placed on rivers with watershed areas greater than 50 square kilometers.

A Pulitzer Prize-winning correspondent and a former private investigator dive deep into the murky waters of the international salmon farming industry, exposing the unappetizing truth about a fish that is not as good for you as you have been told. A decade ago, farmed Atlantic salmon replaced tuna as the most popular fish on North America’s dinner tables. We are told salmon is healthy and environmentally friendly. The reality is disturbingly different. In Salmon Wars, investigative journalists Douglas Frantz and Catherine Collins bring readers to massive ocean feedlots where millions of salmon are crammed into parasite-plagued cages and fed a chemical-laced diet. The authors reveal the conditions inside hatcheries, where young salmon are treated like garbage, and at the farms that threaten our fragile coasts. They draw colorful portraits of characters, such as the big salmon farmer who poisoned his own backyard, the fly-fishing activist who risked everything to ban salmon farms in Puget Sound, and the American researcher driven out of Norway for raising the alarm about dangerous contaminants in the fish. Frantz and Collins document how the industrialization of Atlantic salmon threatens this keystone species, endangers our health and environment, and lines the pockets of our generation's version of Big Tobacco. And they show how it doesn't need to be this way. Just as Eric Schlosser’s Fast Food Nation forced a reckoning with the Big Mac, the vivid stories, scientific research, and high-stakes finance at the heart of Salmon Wars will inspire readers to make choices that protect our health and our planet.

Softly on the forest floor, Tread of moccasins, no more Can glide through dale and hill. Tho' tears may fall and we deplore Their disappearance, and abhor What causes man to kill. How hard for us to contemplate That wiped away a people's fate. From a poem by Ernest A. Peyton Much has been written about the early European settlers in North America, those who helped shape our destiny. They did what they thought was necessary in their day to accomplish their aims. Many suffered privations and loneliness as well as confrontations with native cultures. The Peyton entrepreneurs, father and son, were two such early settlers. They carried on a business of fur trapping and salmon fishing on the River of Exploits in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
