Recommend me a book.

Any of the works by Gordon MacQuarrie, Nash Buckingham, Burton Spiller, George Bird Evans, Gene Hill, Frank Woolner, Jack O'Connor.
Did very much enjoy "Horns in the High Country" by Andy Russell. Would also like to read Bert Riggall's book and H-4831's piece.
Hemingway's stuff are classics. For those who like fishing as well ... Roderick Haigh Brown, Thomas McGuane and John Gierach.

For pure entertainment, I did enjoy Diana Gabaldon's work and that of Richard B. Wright. Many of Michener's books are a good read, especially
Chesapeake, Centennial, Texas and Alaska.

Loius Lamour books are good, as said above. Last of the Breed is one of the best.

And also second the Pat McManus books. They Shoot Canoes Don't They is one of the best.

Lots of good reading listed above as well

I'm going to look for H4831's book now, thanks Frank!
 
'Broad Horns' by George Johnston Walsh if you can find it, I got it off Amazon used. I grew up there and hunted many of the places mentioned in the book as a kid. I was always expecting to see him come crashing through the bush.

Broad Horns was a moose that lived and inspired a legend in the deep woods of Guysborough County, Nova Scotia, Canada in the 1940s. The gigantic moose, hunted often and wounded several times, eluded hunters, poachers, dogs, and wild enemies for years. George Johnston Walsh was born in Guysborough County but left to earn his living in the mines of Ontario and Maine. He returned to the region of his birth and became a fox rancher, until tuberculosis and years of underground mining conspired to rob him of his health and longevity. In the time he had left, he walked in the woods and wrote short stories. In 1945, shortly before his death, George Johnston Walsh finished the story of Broad Horns from the point of view of the moose. His manuscript eventually passed to his grandson and namesake, George J. Walsh. The story was published by Lancelot Press in Windsor, Nova Scotia in 1975. Broad Horns went on to become a symbol of survival for the rural Nova Scotia community and in 1976 the Municipality of the County of Guysborough adopted a graphic rendition of Broad Horns for its logo.

Crusoe of Lonesome Lake.
Story of Ralph Edwards, who built a self sufficient farm in the middle of the wilderness of BC. Fascinating read.
 
"Longarm" and the "Gunsmith"... dusters .... these guys hunt bad guys and carouse with the ladies while doing so. Easy reads, fit in your pocket and you can buynabout half doz of them cheap at any used book store.

The post above that speaks of Ralph Edwards of Lonesome Lake is an interesting read. I hiked back in there many years ago and met his son John Edwards.
 
Mr. Goat, you have a very suitable user name on here. That hike into Lonesome lake is about right for a goat! Wow, that's a long hike.
By any chance did you hike up to Turner Lake, while you were in there? Ralph Edwards once packed fingerling trout up to Turner Lake and apparently they did real well, if anyone gets there to fish them!
I have flown into Lonsesome Lake. That was so long ago that fishing on the Atnarko River was permitted and Tweedsmuir Park didn't extend south of the highway.
Near Lonesome Lake the cutthroat trout fishing in the Atnarko was tremendous and they were big and they were fat.
And of course Trudy Edwards fed the government grain in the winter to the swans for many years.

I sent you a PM explaining my hiking activities in the area, as I did not want to hijack this thread and bore all these fellas. You can still fish in the Atnarko, at least you could the last time I was there in 2005.
