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."
