Certainly Mr. William Harnden Foster who gave us "New England Grouse Shooting"
Col. Harold P. Sheldon who gave us the Tranquility trilogy of "Tranquility," "Tranquility Regained," and "Tranquility Revisited."
Aldo Leopold...
Of course we must include Mr. Art Wheaton, a more contemporary author but just as noteworthy.

Thanks, Dean! Do you know of any specific stories where Col. Sheldon mentioned a Parker? I know of Leopold's Fox, but am not aware of his writing of it or a his Parker -- is there a specific reference in his writing that you are aware of?
Thanks for reminding me of Art's writing. I have enjoyed his book.
