A History Of North American Goose Hunting: Images of the Morning's Sport

Description: An image history of North American Goose Hunting. Over 550 antique and vintage photographs. Photos of early goose hunters, goose hunting, decoys, guns, dogs, places, camps and conservation. 550 pages with appendix for Sandhill Crane and Swan hunting. Hundreds of rarely seen and historical photographs in a single volume. Book Reviews "Through the book's imagery, the reader becomes part of the era of primitive weaponry with abundant game, watches the evolution of retrieving dogs, feels the frigid morning air in wooden sculling skiffs in a lonely marsh, and hears the Judas calls of live tolling decoys. There is no stone unturned, from grass hunting suits to early duck call patents, the evolution of the decoy, and through market hunting and early conservation…..I also suspect that A History of North American Goose Hunting: Images of the Morning's Sport will be one of the most referenced sporting books of the 21st century." R.K. Sawyer, author of A Hundred Years of Texas Waterfowl Hunting, and Texas Market Hunting "It really is a stunning piece of work, a collection of scores of images that, if you look closely and deeply at them, tell the story and history of goose hunting in North America, the people who pursued those wonderful waterfowl, their dogs and conveyances, guns and gear. It is, at its core, an elegy put together by someone who has a deep and abiding respect for the birds and the places they haunt - or haunted - and the waterfowlers and their canine companions who trod wetlands ahead of us. It's a look back down the trail they - and, now, us - have tread. It's historical and historic. Future waterfowlers now have a door to their passion's past." Shannon Tompkins, Outdoor Writer
