Review: I love this book!. My copy, which I bought some years ago is getting rather worn for the many times I've re-read it and browsed through its pages, discovering new small details every time in its wonderful pictures. The book reflects the deep old involvment of Americans with land and its flora and fauna, as well as its reverence and respect for it. It shows the traditions of Americans, and their concern for keeping them alive. A lovely book, nice to read and nice to view its photographs.

Private homes, fishing and hunting lodges, collections of hunting and fishing memorabilia and old books, together with old decoys, nice interior decor and furniture are delightful to be seen. I'd surely would love to find another book with a similar content and approach to this subject to enjoy as much as I enjoyed this one!
