DESCRIPTION:
Amazon Customer said Best Book About A Wardens Career. This book is an amazing read. The stories of his career as Maine Game Warden are very intriguing and entertaining. I found it hard to put the book down once I began to read. Would highly recommend. "Meh" according to jujubee. Reads like grampa's old yarns strewn together into a book. If you enjoy chatting in the grocery line, you'll probably like this one.. More Than a Memoir Marshall The obvious is that John Ford has written a book compiled of a series of amusing or touching or dangerous incidents that he lived as a Maine game warden, but that is not why I liked this book and read every word.

Retired Maine Game Warden John Ford has seen it all. At the same time, though, he wasn't a cold, heartless, go-by-the-book enforcer; he usually had a good quip ready when he slipped the handcuffs on a violator, and he wasn't above accepting a lesson learned as sufficient penalty for breaking the law. He's been shot at by desperate prison escapees, been outwitted by wily trappers, and rescued scores of animals. Ford is also a very gifted storyteller and he writes of his adventures in Suddenly, the Cider Didn't Taste So Good, a collection of true tales, both humorous and serious, from the trenches of law enforcement, and also includes heartwarming accounts of his rescue of hurt or abandoned animals.. As a tenacious and successful warden, he was always willing to spend the time needed to nab violators of the state's fish and game laws
Upon his retirement in 1990, he was elected as county sheriff and reelected in 1994. He has written a local newspaper column since 2002 and is a regular contributor to the Northwoods Sporting Journal. He spent his entire twenty-year warden career in Waldo County in central Maine. He lives with his wife in Brooks, Maine. John Ford, a native Mai
