CLASSIC STORIES ABOUT AMERICA’S FAVORITE UPLAND GAME BIRD—AND ABOUT THE MEN AND DOGS WHO HUNT IT First published in 1935, this collection of stories on grouse hunting from specialist Burton L. Spiller was widely considered by many to be the best book ever written on the topic, and at the very least it should be a part of every grouse hunter’s library. Beautifully illustrated throughout by Lynn Bogue Hunt. “Burton L. Spiller’s twin books, Grouse Feathers and More Grouse Feathers, are classics; they are as stirring today as they were in their first Derrydale editions, so true that time stands still. “Long ago these volumes became collector’s items.... The incomparable delights of grouse hunting, the aroma of a clean wilderness, and the almost pagan rapport that exists between a man and his dog never change. I hold Burt Spiller the finest grouse writer who ever lived.”—Frank Woolner, author of Grouse and Grouse Hunting “The reappearance of these two delightful blendings of warm, sensitive prose and fine art will gladden the hearts of all grouse hunters and lovers of fine hunting literature....”—Eric Peper, Editor, Field & Stream Book Club

FOREWORD: FOR a period so protracted as to visibly shrink ones life expectancy, Nash Buckingham has been promising to take me hunting and or fishing to some of those fabulous old gunning and angling paradises about which he writes. Nash made the initial proposal soon after I had first read De Shootinest Genfman. For die benefit of those coming in late, this establishes the period as approximately the Glacial Age. During intervening eons, Nash has reaffirmed that solemn pledge. While partaking of Mingos hot-cat-an-taters at Doug Stampers Mermaid Tavern, for instance, he has lured on my panting novices hopes with oral paintings of waterfowling as practiced of yore at Beaver Dam, or, in more modern vein, at Section 16 along Bayou Lagrues pin oaks and ricelands. He has led me up into the high hills and shown me the Seven Temptations of quailing at the Ames plantation, Hugh Bucking hams farm, or in Bob Carriers plush coverts. Listening rapdy, Fve found myself actually changing into shooting togs at table, while Mingos shrimp gumbo, meandering its spoons rim, registered chameleon-like deposits along my necktie or in the upper-tier creases of my waistcoat. Manys the day, a much younger Paul basking in the sunshine of a benign and understanding Gamaliels smile, I have in minds eye centered a high-flying brace of greenheads, scored repeated rights and lefts on bobwhites zooming beyond Ethel and Edgar ...
