Gordon MacQuarrie Treasury: Thirty-Eight Classic Sporting Stories (Game & Fish Mastery Library)

The Gordon MacQuarrie literary legacy continues: This new treasury draws 20 of the very best ODHA stories appearing in Willow Creek's Gordon MacQuarrie Trilogy and MacQuarrie Miscellany and, to ice the cake, includes 19 newly discovered stories never before published in book form.

Who was Gordon MacQuarrie? They called him the "Little Red-Head" or simply "Mac." He labored as a small-town reporter in the late-twenties until his journalistic talents were discovered by the Milwaukee Journal. There he became the nation's first outdoor editor in 1936. But it was his deftly written freelance stories for the national sporting press that brought him the wider attention he deserved. Since his untimely death in 1956 he has been deemed a "master storyteller," "an artist of pace and dialogue," and "the poet laureate of duck hunting," while the Washington Post deems his tales of the Old Duck Hunters Association "masterpieces you can read over and over." His timeless tales of the Old Duck Hunters Association, Inc. established "Hizzoner Mr. President" (in real life the author's father-in-law) as the most memorable and beloved character in American sporting literature while attracting hundreds of thousands of loyal readers. Mac is truly an icon of American sporting literature and we are proud to have been his publisher for these past twenty years.
