Carpenter (1877-1949) was born in Wiles-Barr, Pennsylvania, and would become prominent industrialist. As an executive for DuPont helped turn the company into a modern scientific company, and diversify from gunpowder and explosives. He was also an avid hunter and big game hunter, and a member of the Boone and Crockett Club. As a director of the Philadelphia Academy of Natural Sciences he went on many trips to Africa to collect big game animals for the museum's dioramas. This work is essentially a sequel to Game Trails from Alaska to Africa, which was published a couple of years earlier. In this volume, Carpenter gives details about hunting trips in 1939 and 1940 to Alaska and Idaho. This title contains some great black and white photographs, including one of Carpenter with a Grizzly bear he shot. Article by Theodore J. Holsten, Boone & Crockett Club.
