Customer Reviews

a surprise gift

I received this book as a Christmas gift and at first I was skeptical, having never heard of the book before. Now that I am just about done reading it I must say it was a nice book to read. Good enough that I will look up the author's other books. When you leaf through the book you'll see many old deer camp/deer hunting photographs from the late 1800's - early 1900's. These alone are worth getting the book for. The people in the photos are unknown and so are the photographers. The author took these photographs and arranged them in a way that he wrote a series of stories around them. The author is obviously a hunter and he did his research in depicting deer camps at the turn of the 1800's. If you ever deer hunted or, even better, hunt out of a long time deer camp you will find this to be a good addition to your library. An added bonus for me is that most of the stories take place in the area I live and have a deer camp.
