Wild Country: True Stories from the Great Outdoors

By Ken Cook

Something about the outdoors draws us to it. For some, it is the opportunity to put our human ancestry to the test and go on the hunt for bobwhite quail, tiger bass, or feral hog. Some yearn for the vibrant life of nature--the sound of a turkey spitting and drumming, the noisy flutter of ducks leaving a lake, or the dangerous and chilling rattle of a snake--and all the wonder it holds. And yet others strive to protect the wildlife, trees, and swamps of this nation so that the sport and joy of the outdoors can continue and thrive.Delving into real-life stories, Ken Cook's Wild Country: True Stories from the Great Outdoors brings to life true stories of the lives and times of outdoorspeople and larger stories of regions and their inhabitants (human and otherwise). Using a mixture of journalistic honesty and contemplative reflection, Ken Cook offers an exciting, educational, and insightful look into what it means to love the great outdoors.
