by Charles Albert Jones
About the author
Charles Albert Jones is chiefly remembered for Habits, Haunts and Anecdotes of the Moose and Illustrations from Life, first published in 1901. The book brings together natural history, field observation, and hunting stories, giving readers a lively portrait of moose behavior and the rugged landscapes where they were pursued.
Available catalog records confirm his authorship of that book, and modern editions and archives have helped keep it in circulation. While detailed biographical information about his life is hard to confirm from reliable sources, his writing clearly reflects deep familiarity with the outdoors and an ability to turn firsthand experience into readable, engaging prose.
For listeners drawn to classic wildlife writing, his work offers more than sport: it opens a window onto an earlier style of nature observation, when practical woodcraft, patient watching, and storytelling all went hand in hand.
