A History of Rattlesnakes in Early America
A lengthy excerpt details four rattlesnake varieties, chiefly crotalus horridus and massissauga, their size ranges, habitats, and behaviors. It describes fangs, venom glands, alarm sounds, and methods to treat bites, including ligatures and sucking venom. The piece notes Indians’ reverence, cautions about snake aggression, and asserts snakes avoid ash trees and pose limited danger to humans.
