Description
Softcover, 196 pages.
Burton Spiller's Grouse Feathers is without question the best known book of all time on grouse hunting. He captures the spirit and the passion of the grouse hunt like no other writer before or since. His collection of stories that were originally published in the 1930s remain beloved in hunting libraries around the world. Here, with the help of The Upland Almanac, The Derrydale Press is proud to publish another marvelous collection of stories by the 'Poet Laureate of Grouse Hunting' Burton L. Spiller.
While not a 'how-to,' Spiller's folksy 1989[sic] title offers his great knowledge on the subject couched in recollections of hunting with his father as a boy and later with friends as an adult. He presents numerous tips on shooting, shotguns, dogs, and, of course, the birds themselves.
About the Author
Burton Spiller is the recognized authority on grouse―"king of the upland game birds." He was born in Maine in 1886 and died in 1973. During his life, he was somewhat of a Renaissance Man―he made and played violins, grew prize-winning flowers, wrote plays, short stories, and poems, was a mechanic, a welder, and served in World War II making submarines. Derrydale first published him in 1935, and his books continue to be considered the classics of all grouse hunting literature.
