Stories of My Firsts

This is a collection of stories regarding the first specimens of each species I've caught. These stories were written with a historical and sentimental point of view as my lifelisting career developed and grew. They were produced for record keeping and nostalgic value. The species are listed in chronological order as opposed to the species list which are arranged scientifically.
