Yes, Buckingham wrote the introduction to Tranquility. Col. Sheldon drove down to hunt with Nash on more than one occasion and they formed a lasting friendship.
I have the Tranquility trilogy all in original Derrydales. They are among my favorite reads, and with Memorial Day coming soon, there's one story I'll be reading again... "Not Without Honor." .

Thanks, most of mine are Derrydales. Mark Right is a Putnam printed in 44, Game Bag is a Buckingham Mint, and I believe Tattered Coat is a first edition but don't have it with me.
So Tranquility would be worth looking into after finishing with my Nash and Rutledge books? BTW, I have several other writers, these are just the two I seem to be focusing on atm. They are different and depending on when they are writing about I like them better for different reasons. I enjoy the breadth of Rutledge's writings more than Nash's, but I dearly love the stories Nash writes about hunting with his father and the judge and such growing up. I enjoy those much more than his latter writing, although I still enjoy those stories a great deal.

I thought there was a limited edition (similar to the Derrydale reprints) and a trade edition of Once upon a time

Yes there was a limited and a trade edition.They were both done at the same time by the same publisher.Dr.Dirk Halstead and Robert Urich bought all of Nash's papers and were responsible for "Mr.Buck"and "once Upon a Time" being published.

If you are interested at all in John Allen's book, I'd jump on it. I treasure mine and was able to get Robert Urich to sign it when he came to our campus. He was really astounded that there was someone in the audience that knew about this book (among a University filled with non-hunting academics!!). Also, if you are not familiar with this website for rare/collectable books, I'd recommend ABE.com. You can get a really good sense of what's out there and what folks are asking. You are reading some great authors(!) -- enjoy. (PS I did not have a double copy of Hallowed Years...sorry.) |
