Duncan Dobie’s first Dawn of American Deer Hunting has been a best-seller among deer enthusiasts and hunters. Now, Volume II is even bigger and grander. The new book features 240 pages with nearly 400 vintage black-and-white photos, and a stunning color section of whitetail paintings by some of the country’s top artists.
As in Volume I, each of the historic photos in Volume II tells a story – what the hunter was doing, the location, the type of gun being used or some other interesting fact about how the hunters of yesteryear pursued their beloved sport.
The book is a veritable time capsule that shows how our grandfathers and great grandfathers loved doing the same thing 100 years ago that we cherish so much today. The many never-before-published photos that will keep you spellbound and make you wish you had been born 100 years earlier.
Volume II also contains some fascinating profiles of some of our most beloved and history-making whitetail hunters such as George Armstrong Custer, Theodore Roosevelt, Fred Bear and Annie Oakley. Did you know that a fatherless Annie Oakley at age 12 helped feed her mother and siblings and honed her incredible shooting skills by hunting whitetails and small game on the Indiana farm where she was raised? Did you know that George Custer, the “Boy General,” honed his shooting and hunting skills and developed his great love for hunting dogs by chasing whitetails in his boyhood Michigan? So many legendary Americans in our colorful past started out hunting white-tailed deer at an early age.
Published by Sporting Classics, Volume II is available in a signed hardbound Collector’s Edition for $40, or a Deluxe leather-bound, signed-and-numbered edition of 400 books for $70.
