George Bird Evans was very much a new experience for me with his writing about the West Virginia mountains, which I had never been in or driven through. Nor had I ever hunted over the Ryman/Old Hemlock line of English setters, in fact we seldom saw them out here. Nevertheless reading about his life and hunts and dogs was wonderful.
I obtained many of his books from Mr Evans and had them personally signed, a wonderful momento. So many fine people and great experiences.
