Book Description:
Book Description -- American bird hunting throughout the 20th century is interwoven in the fabric of a developing nation, with a rich heritage and colorful traditions. And celebrated outdoor writer, dog trainer and naturalist Ben Williams has been in the thick of it. American Wingshooting is an elegant and beautifully photographed celebration of upland bird hunting now and as it once existed, with an emphasis on contemporary conditions and techniques for what many consider "The Second Golden Age" of bird hunting in America. Little escapes the author's sharp eye for detail with pen or camera as he discusses eighteen species of American game birds, their habits and habitat, the dogs that hunt them, and the guns best suited for each species. With introductory essays by the venerable Charlie Waterman, American Wingshooting is the new textbook for the growing legion of American wingshooters. 180 color photographs.
About the Author -- Ben O. Williams is a noted photographer, author bird hunter and dog breeder. His photography and writing have appeared in many prominent sporting magazines including Gray's Sporting Journal, Retriever Journal, Pointing Dog Journal (for which he is a columnist) and Shooting Sportsman.
