in ' the maine woods " henry david thoreau mentions the last of the caribou - north american reindeer - were seen near the top of mount katahdin in.....

"
The last caribou shot legally in Maine was at Square Lake, Aroostook County, on Dec. 10, 1898, by Cornelia T. Crosby of Phillips. She was better known as Fly Rod Crosby, formidable huntress, friend of Annie Oakley, and all-around booster of Maine’s great outdoors.
By 1906, the state’s game commissioners were reporting that there were no caribou left in Maine, but there were still a few sightings during the next couple of years.
The last sighting to which Palmer and his sources gave credence was reported by W.M. Ellicott in Forest and Stream magazine. During a hunting trip in October, 1908, he was told that 14 caribou had been seen near the top of Mt. Katahdin, and that “guides and sportsmen were glad to have them back after years of absence.” "
