There is a cover picture of Nash Buckingham on the Shootinest Gent-Man volume.
It shows Mr. Buck with a heavy frame straight stocked Philadelphia-looking double
in a duck blind. But at the picture bottom is a familiar looking wiry coated little brown dog-
who may well be a first descendant of the Irish Water Spaniel. The same Irish dog my father hunted ducks with in the long ago time of live decoys, Winchester Model 97s,
and the Parker gun.
