De la contraportada

The Best of Outdoor Life is the third, updated edition to the acclaimed Treasury of Outdoor Life. It includes the most distinguished stories and articles that appeared from 1898 through 1981 in Outdoor Life - one of the most respected outdoors magazines in the United States. It also includes a generous selection of old covers and advertisements of the time - making it, in all, one of the most exciting anthologies about outdoor sport ever assembled.The seventy-six stories and articles, selected by William E. Rae, former editor in chief of Outdoor Life, cover a wide range of subjects. There are great hunting and fishing stories, gripping survival tales, and humorous anecdotes by outdoorsmen who saw the comical aspects of their sport. There are also articles illuminating interesting corners of outdoor lore: the mythical expertise of Wild West gunmen, the fascinating history of the Kentucky Rifle, the intriguing hallucination known as "early blur." Brief introductions to the stories, written by Rae, provide the background and, if possible, biographical sketches of the authors. (7 1/4 X 9 1/2, 488 pages, color photos)
