"Hunts are best measured by the endurance of the memories they produce," E. Donnall Thomas Jr. writes in this, his first collection of waterfowling essays. He might have added that good books are likewise measured by how vivid, and how long, they remain in the mind of the reader. By Dawn's Early Light is a book that will stay with you long after you have read it. Though he has pursued big game, upland birds, and a variety of fish all over the world, Thomas reserves a special place in his heart for duck and goose hunting, That's because waterfowling is to him a uniquely American sport. A sport of home and hearth, of memories made even more poignant by the knowledge that the first light of dawn is fleeting and will not last. Thomas captures these moments so well that his memories become ours. (5 3/4 x 8 3/4, 200 pages, illustrations)

Best Book Ever!!!,
By Matt (Denver, Co) - See all my reviews
This review is from: By Dawn's Early Light (Hardcover)
If you love hunting and the out doors then you will love By Dawn's Early Light. E. Donnall Thomas Jr. takes your breath away as the book captures your hert and imagination and takes you to a land full of ducks and a good time. To any any one who has eve hunted you will be astounded by how this book puts it like it is. I made the mistake of reading this book during the "off season" and had I had more money would have bought every thing I couldd find in the Cabela's magazine. This unfortunetly was not the case and I had to suffer through moths of not being able to hunt untill finaly my savior came in the form of a teal. This book perfecly sums up the thirl of the hunt, birds or no birds.
