Seventy-plus dog years in the making, beautifully told with the  soulful intensity that is the author's celebrated signature, and crafted with the insight only a life in which sporting dogs have been central and supreme could endow, here is the novella Mike Gaddis was honor-bound to write.

A tale true-to-life, where dog and bird reign foremost, and man takes his place gratefully and incidentally as a by-stander in their aura.  A battle of two indomitable warriors that were from the minute of birth and blood destined to clash.

A comfortable evening's read by the fireplace, but an infinite study in timeless upland pageantry, Duel On Tabernacle Mountain ascends spectacularly as the riveting story of setter and grouse, each extraordinarily gifted within their time, each bound inextricably within the mission they were born for: to best the other.

In the vein of the author's celebrated novel Jenny Willow, Duel On Tabernacle Mountain is unique in presentation, steeped in the spiritual wonder of a great dog, and anointed with the astounding wiles which make the ruffed grouse the undisputable "King of Game Birds."

Altogether, here is a literary adventure any dyed-and-true disciple of the sporting life is sure to relish. An opportunity to own one of the most beautifully penned and appointed books ever published on the grouse legacy, and a collector's volume in the making.
