Hunt no more for history

Book: Hunting the American West: The Pursuit of Big Game for Life, Profit and Sport, 1800-1900,” by Richard C. Rattenbury (416 pages, The Boone and Crockett Club, www.boone-crockett.org, $50.)

Recently published, this well-researched and handsomely illustrated large-format book should pique the interest of hunters, conservationists and western history buffs plus firearm and sporting art collectors.

The text spans a transition from aboriginal hunters to adventurers to market hunters and the rise of the hunter-conservation movement, documented with journal entries from hunters and observers.

The era’s hunting styles, weapons, methods and their consequences are explored.

OUTFITTER

Coleman camping gear questions answered

Lanterns and stove have been shedding light and heat on the camping and hunting experience for nearly a century. Some of these indispensible devices have been passed down through generations of outdoorsmen.

An excellent source of information about parts, service, home repair and collecting of old Coleman stoves and lanterns can be found online through California-based Old Town Coleman Center at www.oldtownyucca.com .

Thanks Mike Altman of Spokane for the tip.
