Suddenly, the Cider Didn't Taste So Good: Adventures of a Game Warden in Maine

John Ford spent years as a game warden in Maine, a job that brought him face to face with poachers, escaped prisoners and trappers who believed they could outsmart the law. He was a determined officer who would spend whatever time a case required, yet he was never a cold rule-follower. He could often find a wry remark as he cuffed an offender, and sometimes a lesson learned served as punishment enough. In this book he gathers true stories from his years in the field, some funny and some grave, along with moving accounts of the injured and abandoned animals he rescued along the way.
