4.0 out of 5 stars
Even a city boy will love this collection,
By Len (Connecticut USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Best of Field & Stream: 100 Years of Great Writing from America's Premier Sporting Magazine (Paperback)
I was raised in the city, with almost no exposure to fishing and hunting. (Brooklyn c. 1975, the only shooting I knew was an occasional gun shot outside my apartment building in the middle of the night.) For a city boy like me, this book was a wonderful introduction into love of outdoors through hunting and fishing.This collection contains over 50 stories from Field & Stream, ranging from 3-12 pages. Nature, calm or threatening, is a protagonist in every story. We sense how much the early 20th century landscape has been overrun by human sprawl. There are many other wonderful themes in this collection - courage, fear, lost and found friendship. Among my favorites were the handful of stories about old hunters and their beloved dogs. This book will transport you to another era - one very much worth traveling to. My only critique is women rarely appear in these pages, reflecting a strongly male-oriented editorial hand. |
