Arthur Robert Harding (1871-1930) was an American outdoorsman who was founder of Hunter-Trader-Trapper and Fur-Fish-Game Magazine, and publisher, editor and author of many popular outdoor how-to books of the early 1900s. When it appeared in 1906, "Mink Trapping" (alongside a companion volume "Fox Trapping") was the first in what would become a long line of instructional books which were the first widely distributed books published about traps and trapping methods.
