Right now I'm reading H.P.Lovecraft, "The colour out of space".
Was stumbled at the sentence "They were the usual winter prints of red squirrels, white rabbits, and foxes [...]", describing the situation west of Arkham, New England in 1880's.
I thought that red squirrel is exclusively Eurasian species of squirrels and in the North America live only gray squirrels.
After the short googling, I didn't find any evidences of red squirrels, living in New England.
Can you explain me the plot?
