Excerpt from Scientific Duck Shooting in Eastern Waters Among the many localities scattered along the entire length of the Atlantic seaboard where the sport Of duck Shooting can still be engaged with pleasure and profit, there is probably no more favored locality than Cape Cod, whose wave-washed shores abounding in sheltered coves and quiet bays, with partially submerged marshes extending far inland, and flats, made bare by the receding tides, Offer to the wild fowl feeding grounds unsurpassed in variety and abundance, while the many lakes and ponds which lie snugly sheltered among the low lying hills and uplands furnish an abundant supply of fresh water, a luxury which Anas Obscure: will not deny himself of, for any length of time, he being willing to take extraordinary risks after having been deprived of his bath for a few days.

Excerpt from Tales of Duck and Goose Shooting: Being Duck and Goose Hunting Narratives From Celebrated Ducking Waters Each year that the duck hunter goes out he will pick up some new wrinkles from some grizzled old pusher, or from some of the canny boys that lie around the lakes. I have been at the lakes when some seasoned old pirate would sit grumblingly around the fire in early Spring, only deserting his warm place to go outside and look at the sky, or spit on his finger and hold it up to see which way the wind was blowing. Meanwhile the not so hardened shooters would be working their heads off to bring in a dozen ducks a day. Then some morning old Groucher would be missing, and would come in at night loaded to the stumbling point with ducks. He had been watching the signs. And when he got ready had poled and cut his way in to where the birds were feeding and had made a killing. That, of course, was in the old days. Days when there was no limit, either to the birds or to the number you could kill. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Duck Shooting and Hunting Sketches Duck shooting is a science; likewise an art. The seasoned duck shooter smiles at the quail hunter, the snipe shooter, and the man who eases around in a buck-board after prairie chickens. They are mostly parlor shooters in his opinion. Whisper, now - men take their lives in their hands quite a bit who follow the sport of duck shooting. The marshes and lakes take something of a toll of human life in that respect, and more than a few good staunch fel lows have gone under in the sink-holes, perished from exposure, or drowned in sight of shore while following their favorite hobby. You need to be some resemblance to a man to go after ducks year in and year out. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

“Wonderfully written…Mr. Owen writes about water, but in these polarized times the lessons he shares spill into other arenas. The world of water rights and wrongs along the Colorado River offers hope for other problems.” —Wall Street Journal An eye-opening account of where our water comes from and where it all goes. The Colorado River is an essential resource for a surprisingly large part of the United States, and every gallon that flows down it is owned or claimed by someone. David Owen traces all that water from the Colorado’s headwaters to its parched terminus, once a verdant wetland but now a million-acre desert. He takes readers on an adventure downriver, along a labyrinth of waterways, reservoirs, power plants, farms, fracking sites, ghost towns, and RV parks, to the spot near the U.S.–Mexico border where the river runs dry. Water problems in the western United States can seem tantalizingly easy to solve: just turn off the fountains at the Bellagio, stop selling hay to China, ban golf, cut down the almond trees, and kill all the lawyers. But a closer look reveals a vast man-made ecosystem that is far more complex and more interesting than the headlines let on. The story Owen tells in Where the Water Goes is crucial to our future: how a patchwork of engineering marvels, byzantine legal agreements, aging infrastructure, and neighborly cooperation enables life to flourish in the desert—and the disastrous consequences we face when any part of this tenuous system fails.
