To escape the chiggers, fire ants, alligators, rattle snakes, watermocasins and mid day 85 degree temps. And to be closer to my new england friends....

I have found that if you keep your eye out for books that are privately published or published in limited runs and only available in a few places, there is some great stuff. People who have been hunting their whole life and want to share some of their experiences, as opposed to promoting Realtree or the latest Orvis lodge. You just have to keep your eye out and strike whenever you see something

Mills I would believe you would enjoy this book since you are from the area. I mailed him my check and when he noticed my last name, wrote me a very nice letter about my late grandfather, with whom he lived with at Clemson. Small world.

Yes, John. I have that one and it is good. He is a PGCA member and spoke at the annual meeting a few years ago

I spoke at length with Mr. Frierson at that meeting and he inscribed my book as well.

Back in 2010, I was looking at a nice 30" 16ga. DHE, in a shop down in SC. The owner of the shop told me he would give my name to the gun's owner and have him call me.
The morning I was driving up the parking garage ramp to go into the hospital for an operation, my cellphone rang, and it was Doc Frierson. He told me that he had just finished doing a family genealogy and he had Spencer relatives who had moved from Connecticut to South Carolina prior to the Civil War. Not surprisingly, I knew nothing of them, but John informed me they fought for the South, and that he and I were related. He sent me a copy of his book which I digested during my recovery. We have since written back and forth on numerous occasions, and shared our maple syrup and 'shine (which I might point out is 'killer' good 120 proof) He's an accomplished cabinet maker and botanist.
Long story short, I have his DHE 16.

What about William H. Claflin's Partridge Rambles and Partridge Adventures? I don't have either, and I understand they're hard to find and harder to afford if you do find them. There's a reprint available here:
