“GUNNER'S DAWN”  By Roland Clark. Published by Derrydale Press: 1937.
Edition limited to 950 copies. Signed frontispiece. Roland Clark was one
of the premier wildfowl artists of the 20th century. This was his second
book of gunning tales, coming between "Stray Shots" and "Pot Luck". As
John Holman writes in the Introduction to "Pot Luck"- "As a teller of
tales that grip the hearts of men who go out in the early dawn and cast
their decoys on rosy waters, or tramp the frosty uplands, he is hard to
surpass". A lovely copy.


  -We have a few other nice HUNTING books
    up for auction this week-

“AN AMERICAN HUNTER” By Archibald Rutledge, illustrated by Lynn Bogue Hunt.
Published by Frederick A. Stokes Company: 1937. 2nd printing. Rutledge
became nationally known for his popular stories on nature, field sports,
dogs and the Southern ethos. One of America’s best loved outdoor writers,
he was awarded the John Burroughs Medal for nature writing in 1930. He was
also a poet and was honored as the first Poet Laureate of South Carolina
in 1934.


“COW RANGE AND HUNTING TRAIL” By Malcolm S. Mackay with illustrations by
Charles M. Russell. Published by G.P. Putnam’s Sons: 1925. A scarce
Western hunting title inscribed by the author. An avid hunter, Mackay
stalked bighorn sheep, elk, grizzlies, and the white rams of the Kenai in
Alaska. In addition to three drawings by Charles M. Russell, the book has
thirty-five black and white illustrations from photographs depicting
everything from old cowboys in unspoiled landscapes to hunting camps to
trophy grizzly pelts, rams heads and a magnificent seven point elk rack.
Born in 1881, at age nineteen Mackay began acquiring land near Red Lodge,
Montana, which eventually became the seventeen thousand acre Lazy EL
Ranch. The ranch is still in operation and owned and operated by Mackay’s
descendants.


“WING SHOTS. A Series of Camera Studies of American Game Birds and other
Birds of Field and Stream on the Wing.” By Albert Dixon Simmons. Published
