An Old Parker Pages Article

[mobirdhunter]

Jim, I picked up some old issues of The American Field in St. Joe on Friday. In a November 1922 issue I saw the listing posted here. I know this is a bit early for your or your brother's recollection, but thought you might recognize the family name. There were lots of good bird dogs running the fields of Missouri in those days.

I could spend the rest of my days reading about the old hunting clubs and camps.

Two of my favorite reads with tons of old pictures are "Pte. Moulee Shooting Club" by Jim and Barbara Marsh - a wonderful book that took over twenty years of research.

And "Deer Camp - Last Light in the Northeast Kingdom" by John M. Miller - really tugs at the heart of anyone who lives and remembers the deer camp life in the Northeast.

I have both of those books! There is another one on a Mississippi deer camp which is good.

The book on the left is a history of the Santee Gun Club which took me years to track down. The other great SC clubs are the Okeetee Club and Oakland Club.

Mills,

Can you give me the full citation (author, title, date)? I'd love to find a copy. My good friend managed the Santee Club for years before it was sold or given to SC. Many Thanks Jerry

Brannon Reath. Santee Club, A Legend. See if that helps. I think they have a print on demand version

Thanks Mills,
No luck on abebooks.com Could it be "Early History of Santee Club" by Henry Carter? I'll keep looking. The cover of your book is a painting by Richard Bishop, who hunted there and had a painting over the fireplace when I visited there......Jerry

It is a very rare book. It took me years to find a copy. Actually, decades

[Mills]

The Early History of Santee Club is good too and it is readily available via print on demand (if you can stand print on demand)
