Corey Ford's "The Road to Tinkhamtown"

[Dean Romig]

This twelve minute video has been put on YouTube so I guess it is public now.

It is narrated (read) by our friend Des Young of "Hunting With Hank" fame and produced by Laurie Morrow who has been given exclusive 'curatorship' by Dartmouth College, where Corey Ford was a professor, of all of Corey Ford's writings, letters, and private property.

"Cider", the blue belton English Setter in the video in reality is "Earl's Coronation" and is of the Earl Twombly line (from which came Ford's "Cider" and "Tober") and is the sire of the pup "Olga's Grace" that Kathy and I will be picking up in the first week of August. Coronation Kennels in Lowell Vt. is owned and operated by Legh and Jenn Higgins. Legh makes an appearance in the video, second from left, in the clip of the four hunting companions.

Many will probably recognize the gentleman featured in the video as 'Big John' Wiles, husband of Laurie Morrow and managing partner of B&W Sporting The Best in Wingshooting.

No matter how many times I have read "The Road To Tinkhamtown", which has been many, I never tire of it. I consider it one of the best pieces of bird hunting literature ever produced, albeit sad.

This video does the story justice and I want to thank Dean for sharing it.

Dean, good luck with the setter pup. They hold a special place in my heart and I am sure will yours as well.

It was no. 1 in a Sporting Classics contest for best outdoor story ever written. That is how I first learned of it. Great stuff for sure.

Open a search function on the www and type in the road to tinkhamtown and click on the link that shows a guy sitting on the ground leaning against a tree.
