Great Sports Stories

This book is by the leaders of the wilderness revolution in writing, the new journalism of the outdoors. The stores they tell are of the total wilderness experience. Such writers are true woodsmen and therefore true environmentalists. They know that the moment they set foot in the woods they are as much a part of the habitat as their quarry. They no lonter are mere spectators, but active particpants---predators in a strange, dramatic world of pursuers and pursued. They can feel and convey the almost mystical exhilaration that can be experienced in the wild, an emotion well and fully understood by mountain men and Indians who gazed into the mist hovering abot white water. Twenty selections from The American Sportsman, masterpeices in the literature of the rod, ghe gun, and the compafire, profusely illustrated with the finest wilderness photography in full color.
