The Gordon Macquarrie Sporting Treasury: Stories (Game & Fish Mastery Library)

By Gordon MacQuarrie

Book Overview

We are delighted to announce that the Gordon MacQuarrie literary legacy continues: This new treasury draws 20 of the very best ODHA stories appearing in Willow Creek's Gordon MacQuarrie Trilogy and MacQuarrie Miscellany and, to ice the cake, includes 19 newly discovered stories never before published in book form. MacQuarrie became the nation's first outdoor editor in 1936. His deftly written freelance stories for the national sporting press brought him the wider attention he deserved. He has since been deemed a "master storyteller," "an artist of pace and dialogue," and "the poet laureate of duck hunting," while the Washington Post deems his tales of the Old Duck Hunters Association "masterpieces you can read over and over." Mac is truly an icon of American sporting literature and we are proud to have been his publisher for these past twenty years.

A must have

Even if you have the trilogy there are a few jewels within this collection that make it worthy of adding to your collection. If you don't yet have the trilogy this is a good introduction to Mac's wonderful stories. Enjoy this and you'll be ordering the trilogy before you turn the last pages of this collection. This will make a great gift for your hunitng or fishing buddies.

Great stories from a great author

I already owned the trilogy and MacQuarrie Miscellany. I've read them so much the covers are worn. This book contains mostly stories from the original 4 books but the 8 or 9 new stories are worth the money. Yes, there are some new stories that include Mr. President, but there are also some that go outside of MacQuarrie's normal boundaries. A great book to buy a sports person as a gift.

Question?

I also would like to know if these are different stories from the Old Duck Hunter trilogy. The trilogy is the best 3 books on the outdoors written by anyone, ever! I will buy this book if it contains stories not in the trilogy (already own them).

A masterful story teller

Gordon McQuarrie is the most endearing author I have read. His Old Duck Hunters series is a treasure I have read and re-read. Can someone tell me if this Treasure of 38 classics are new and different from the original Old Duck Hunters series? If so, I would buy immediately.
