Nothing can be learned of George Putnam Smith personally from major
biographic and bibliographical sources. However, he was a lawyer
for he identifies himself as being a member of the New York Bar.
Probably he was also a sportsman.The full title of Smith's small
work is The Law of Field Sports, A Summary of the Rules of Law
Affecting American Sportsmen. In his Preface, Smith advises: "The
object of this little book is to provide the American sportsman
with a succinct statement of the rules of law affecting him in the
acquisition of his outfit and in the pursuit of game. As the
country becomes thickly settled and the land is more generally
cultivated or inclosed, the liberty which the sportsman has
hitherto enjoyed of hunting or fishing where he chose is being
restricted, and a knowledge of the legal limits of private land, of
the rights of the owner and of the law of trespass, becomes more
and more important."--Henry M. Reeves
