I picked up a couple of interesting little books recently...
The one on the right is
Partridge Rambles and
Partridge Adventures by William H. Claflin, Jr. This is a re-issue compilation of his original limited edition, privately published books from 1934 and 1951 which I mentioned in Dean's grouse book thread. I haven't read it yet and I'm not even a grouse hunter, but I'm a sucker for these little privately published books, even if this one is a re-issue.
The one on the left is
Ward Allen, Savannah River Market Hunter by John Eugene Cay. Jr., about the turn of the century market hunter. I was unaware of this person and the story until someone on the doublegunshop site mentioned it. It's a very cool little story with lots of photos and old clippings and references. I also bought the movie (!) which I've yet to watch. They cast Jim Caviezel (who I like a lot) as Ward, but from what I've read, they've romanticized things; Jim doesn't look anything like the description of Ward in the book.
