Although his typewriter has been silent for nearly fifty years, Gordon MacQuarrie’s words continue to inspire generations of hunting and fishing enthusiasts. Through his “Stories of the Old Duck Hunters,” most of which are still in print, MacQuarrie captured the intangible, emotional qualities of the outdoor life in a way that made him unique among his peers. As a result, his audience and his legend continue to grow. Gordon MacQuarrie: The Story of an Old Duck Hunter is the first full-length biography of this literary legend. It explores the relationships he nurtured and treasured; records his coming of age during Theodore Roosevelt’s Conservation Movement; documents his rise to national prominence as the first full-time, professional outdoor writer in America; and follows his life as journalist, storyteller, husband, father, outdoorsman, and conservationist. Complete with rarely seen photographs and a comprehensive timeline of his writings, this book is a fitting companion to MacQuarrie’s own Stories of the Old Duck Hunters anthologies.

In 1939, John Steinbeck began his research for his novel the Grapes of Wrath at a farm labor camp outside Gridley, California. Fast forward to 1952. A beautiful young girl from this camp is found brutally murdered in a canal near Gridley. She is the daughter of the Coffey family who work the crops during the harvest season. They are unable to afford a decent burial for their daughter. The community shows little emotion or outrage over the death of Clara Coffey, except to place probable blame for her death on an African American man who had recently moved to the area with his family. Only a young Deputy Sheriff named Marlin Webster takes her murder seriously enough to pursue the few clues available as to her killer. Clara becomes almost an obsession with Webster that results in conflict with his love interest, Roxanne Travers, Sheriff Sam Cross and others who stand in his way to finding her murderer and bringing some dignity to her life. The story focuses on Webster’s investigation and the people and events he encounters, but also on a people and community where long held beliefs and prejudices that come into conflict with changing times die hard.

The Outlaw Gunner is the colorful story of market gunning in both its legal and illegal phases, particularly as it was practiced in the great Chesapeake Bay, the Outer Banks, and the tidewater regions of Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, and North Carolina. In more than 150 of the most unusual and rare photographs from the author's collection, the men with their guns, boats, and traps are shown in action. The market-gunning paraphernalia looks strange and fearful--and well it might, for it was devastatingly efficient and deadly. He describes baiting practices, gunning with tollers, trapping, gunning lights, punt guns, pipe guns, the sinkbox--the whole bag of tricks the outlaws used. This is a fascinating account of a period and of practices long gone. Throughout the unspoken "good ole days" feeling, and the nostalgia, runs a strong between-the-lines plea for conservation in our time. The appeal, placed in this setting, is hard to ignore.
