Re: [A/S] Airstream Books



Here are some possibilities from current www.ABEBooks.com listings (I know,
and add shipping on top of that ...) including some esoterica for winter
reading.
Anybody on the list towing their trailer behind a 1935 Dodge Airstream Six ?

Fergus, Jim The Sporting Road : Travels Across America in an Airstream

Mylar. -- From Booklist \n Colorado outdoor writer Fergus' essays celebrate
bird hunting, friends, dogs, fishing, Native American culture, and the
American countryside. Hunting and fishing are his primary concerns, and the
majority of the pieces are about hunting turkeys, geese, grouse, partridge,
and quail and fishing for bonefish, tarpon, bass, and trout. The sporting
activity takes place as Fergus works his way across the country in an
Airstream trailer with only his dog, Sweetzer, for company. In addition to
accounts of his adventures in pursuit of fish and fowl, Fergus offers vivid
descriptions of obscure wildlands in North Dakota, Nebraska, and elsewhere
as well as appealing vignettes about cooking, camping, and the people he
meets on the road. Insightful observations on the perils facing small towns
and farms bring a touch of social consciousness to the easygoing, personable
memoir. This book will appeal to those who enjoy the outdoor writing of
William Tapply (see below) and Russell Chatham. John Rowen \n\nFrom Kirkus
Reviews \n Handsome, deliberative hunting vignettes, many collected from the
column Fergus (A Hunters Road: A Journey with Gun and Dog Across the
American Upland, 1992, etc.) wrote for Sports Afield. Ranging far and wide
in his beaten Suburban, following the seasons (which provide the book with
its superstructure), towing an Airstream and a company of dogs, Fergus hunts
up hunting venues and friends, then fashions from them these neat sketches.
Its clear from the start that Fergus is where he wants to be,. Binding is
