new england grouse shooting by william foster

[Dean Romig]

Foster, the "father of skeet" was a highly acclaimed author and extremely accomplished painter/artist. He did all of the illustrations for New England Grouse Shooting and accepted commissions to paint bird dogs, locomotives, and even took a commission to travel to Panama to paint the canalway and surrounding countryside for a magazine series of articles.
The book should be in every shotgun hunter's library - especially those of grouse and woodcock shooters. It is a true classic.... I have two copies.

He was also publisher and editor in chief on The National Sportsman and Hunting & Fishing magazines.
He enjoyed several fine Parker shotguns (preferring small bores), including "The Little Gun", several of which are still in the Foster family

The old Foster home and gravesite are just up the street from my house here in Andover.
