Memories if a Carolina Bird Hunter
I recently bought a DHE 16 from an old time wing shooter from South Carolina, and he sent me a copy of his book, Memories of a Carolina Bird Hunter. It was a treat when my wife brought it into the hospital for me. Because of the wondeful drugs the're giving me, I've been able to read the first paragraph, at least 12 times. Each time is a new experience. It's not a thick book, so at this rate I figure I'll finish it around September. Lots of mention of his favorite Parker, a VH 16ga, 26", which was my dad's first gun too.
The author's name is John L. Frierson, and I've had several great converstions with him. He's a right-proper Southern Gentleman, and makes me feel like we're all sitting around a woodstove in some cabin.
