Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From the Publisher
In the 1950s and 1960s, the big outdoor magazines made heavy use of narrative stories-those wonderful old tales of brave men and brave animals. Prothero, like thousands of other budding and seasoned outdoorsmen, waited with scarcely contained anticipation for another adventure story by the great storytellers of this century: Russell Annabel, Jack O'Connor, Elmer Keith, Ted Trueblood, and so on. When editors in hunting magazines changed their focus, they no longer solicited the "Me and Joe" stories that made the outdoor magazines so popular. Prothero's new book, The Hunting Adventures of Me and Joe, is a collection of his best and favorite stories written in the vein of the great adventure storytellers; many of these stories are unpublished, but some have appeared, often in a shortened or otherwise edited form, in either Field and Stream or Outdoor Life. They are all masterpieces of hunting adventures and sure to please.

Hunting vicariously, while reading anothers life adventures,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Hunting Adventures of Me and Joe (Hardcover)
I first became framiliar with Walt Prothero's writting in Outdoor Life Magazine articles. I was very impressed by his ability to visually describe the country he was in, and the small details that most outdoor writers omit. Details like packing-out the venison, insects and temperatures. Most impressive are the questions I asked guides on my hunting trips that they could'nt answer...that Mr Prothero answered in the course of this book. This book of thirty hunting articles flows like fine fiction, but is non-fiction where the human-experiance has center stage. A great hunting book for people who cannot afford unlimited hunting trips west of the mississippi.
