De Shootinest Gent'Man: And Other Tales

Summary: Early 20th century waterfowl&quail hunting in the OLD SOUTH
Review: A collection of some of the best of Nash Buckingham's short stories that paint an excellent portrait of waterfowl hunting, quail hunting, and life in general in the old south (early 1900's). While these tales may not be the most politically correct today, they were true for the period and most entertaining. Nash Buckingham's impeccable sportsman's ethic and his love for the post civil war generation are quite apparent. This is the best of all the books I have read by this author, and I recommend it highly.

Summary: Old School Waterfowling
Review: I didn't enjoy this book that much. It documents the hunting style in the South perfectly. Throughout the book, the quotes are written in "Suthin' Accint." This annoyed me. Maybe it's just my Yankee lifestyle shining through and true Southerners would consider it a great addition.

Summary: This is the one!
Review: If you only buy one bird hunting, wing-shooting, bird dogging book this year, this is the one! A classic of American literature. No one comes close to Nash in capturing the essense of the field, blind, guns, people and dogs that keep us all addicted, even as we begin a new millenium!
