Shoemaker, president of the Penn- Folklore State industry, sylvania Museum. Citing J. W. Sheibley, of Landis- burg, Perry County, and the late Henry K. Deisher, of Kutztown, Berks County, as authorities, Shoe- maker said “there was no finer, gamier fish in the Susquehanna than the sturgeon, which was ignomini- ously wasted by our early fisher- men, in the belief that sturgeon destroyed shad and Susquehanna salmon. Society, “There early fishermen hauled the sturgeon from the Susquehanna’ and its tributaries in nets and liter- ally threw them away to die or sold them by the wagon load for a mere trifle as fertilizer. This wanton des- truction went on while the pioneer fishermen were ignorant of the two dollar a pound price in Europe for sturgeon roe or caviar. “Captain Cecil Clay, an early Sus- quehanna naturalist, noted the re- semblance of the Susquehanna stur- geon roe or eggs to the European caviar or European sturgeon eggs, and predicted a prosperous business for Pennsylvania fishermen if they would conserve the sturgeon and market the eggs or roe as Susque- hanna Caviar. “Other experts also predicted a fortune could be made if the Sus- quehanna sturgeon eggs or roe were salted and marketed as American Caviar. “The sturgeon swam up the Sus- quehanna River and entered the river’s creek tributaries to spawn. These spawning streams included the Codorus in York County, the Yellow Breeches, York and Cumber- land counties, the Conodoguinet in Cumberland County and Sherman's Creek in Perry County. “In spawning the eggs or roe were carefully scooped up by misguided anglers and commercial fishermen who threw them away to decrease the sturgeon in the belief that the fish was an enemy of the shad and the salmon. “However, later have made studies which indicate that the sturgeon fed on snails, crawfish and insect larvae and even wheat and corn discarded from mills along the streams. “The early abundance of sturg- eon in the Susquehanna River and its tributaries and its subsequent elimination is another tragic chap- ter in the story of man’s wasteful destruction of life in this country. “Around 1873 the sturgeon showed signs of diminishing in num- bers, when they were subjected to wholesale slaughter. They were tak- en abundantly in nets and roughly gaffed with hooks. Then they were either thrown back into the water mortally wounded or cast on the ground to die, after which they were used as fertilizer. “Old timers tell of some mighty sturgeons caught in the Susquehan- na near Harrisburg. A 57 1-2 inch sturgeon = weighing 47 pounds dressed at 22 pounds and the roe weighed almost 12 pounds. A 39 inch sturgeon weighed 14 pounds when caught. There was one report of 109-pound sturgeon. “Of course today there would be little or no caviar business for Penn- sylvania. The development of power dams in the lower Susquehanna made an insurmountable barrier for the shad and salmon which no long- er are found north of the dams. And these dams would have stopped the spawning migrations of the sturgeon as well. “But until the coming of power dams Pennsylvania might have had a flourishing American caviar in- dustry.” fish culturists Penn's Plantation William Penn referred to his country home. in America as his “Plantation at Pennsberry, in Penn- sylvania.” Penn actually spent only a few years at Pennsbury.
