SynopsisRetired Maine Game Warden John Ford has seen it all. He's been shot at by desperate prison escapees, been outwittedby wily trappers, and rescued scores of animals. As a tenacious and successful warden, he was always willing tospend the time needed to nab violators of the state's fish and game laws. 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. Ford is also a very giftedstoryteller and he writes of his adventures in Suddenly, the Cider Didn't Taste So Good, a collection of true tales, bothhumorous and serious, from the trenches of law enforcement, and also includes heartwarming accounts of his rescueof hurt or abandoned animals., Retired Maine Game Warden John Ford has seen it all.

  • What Game Wardens Do

    Great short stories about a game warden here in Maine. I liked them because I reside near Waldo county, and know the areas which he patrolled, and know of one or two of the characters, who had the misfortune of meeting John while working the night shift.
