superintendent of a fledgling federal hatchery.
Henshall is probably best known as author of the classic Book of the
Black Bass, which is still available at most any book store. Therein he
posited about the "eminently American fish" and its behavioral traits:
"the arrowy rush" of the "gamest fish that swims." He waxed poetic about
smallmouth bass, and argued that the spotted bass did not exist as a
distinct species. Henshall gave up a career as a medical doctor for
distinguished work in conservation and fish culture.

station where Henshall once lived and worked.
