Dead Men Tell No Tales - The Mysterious Death of Edmund W. Davis on the Grand Cascapedia River

Edmund W. Davis was one of the founding members of the Cascapedia Club and the author of Salmon Fishing on the  Grand Cascapedia. In 1908 Davis was killed by a gunshot wound at his camp while hunting in the area and considerable mystery has surrounded the circumstance of his death for the past one hundred years.

A gun shot was fired on the morning of June 19, 1908. The sound must have disturbed the tranquil stillness of a morning on the Cascapedia River. Within moments, the lifeless body of Edmund W. Davis lay slumped in a large oak rocking chair on the front porch of Red Camp. This tragedy ended the life of one of the infamous salmon anglers of the world famous Grand Cascapedia River.

Blood Knots (Of Fathers, Friendship & Fishing)

Review by John Andrews

In ‘Blood Knots (Of Fathers, Friendship & Fishing’) Luke Jennings has produced an eloquent and deeply moving angling memoir. As with every angler’s story the fishing is constant but it is the people behind it that seize the reader and to borrow Lynn Barber’s words from the dust jacket will ‘haunt’ them. As such this is a tale about a lost world occupied by ghosts.
