Pheasants Of The Mind: A Hunter'S Search For A Mythic Bird
Quarter cloth over boards with a sewn binding. 154 pp; b&w illustrations throughout. "It is impossible to read this without being reminded of Garrison Keilor at his best, which is very good indeed." -- M.F.K. Fisher "One by-product of current anti-hunting sentiment is that hunting lore gets lost in the process. In the musings of Proper, however, such literature lives on. Pheasant hunting is his focus and serves as a springboard for philosophizing on camaraderie, recreation, agricultural methods, dogs, outdoor equipment, property management, cooking, and other important facets of leisure or not-so-leisure time. Those who think hunting is hokey or barbaric have probably never read Aldo Leopold, Theodore Roosevelt, or Datus Proper. The love of land, seasons, or times of day, the old and new ways of outdoor sportsmanship, and the styles and manners by which we live are admirably explicated in these well-crafted essays." -- Henry T. Armistead, Thomas Jefferson University Library, Philadelphia Copyright 1990 Reed Business Information, Inc.
