Adventures In A Man's World: The Initiation of A Sportsman's Wife

by Courtney Letts de Espil

How does it happen that a nice, upper-class city girl, born at the turn of the twentieth century and raised to expect a life of pampered luxury, finds herself shivering in a frigid Saskatchewan duck-blind? Courtney Borden's husband, John Borden of Borden Dairy fame, was an avid sportsman, and she accepted his invitation to join in the action. So, the early-twentieth-century woman takes up upland bird shooting, waterfowling, fly fishing, and other outdoor sports.
