1973238087vp 1973. 4to. Fine with corrections with envelopes on occasion. 4to. Jack O'Connor served as the Shooting Editor of Outdoor Life for 31 years and is considered one of the great hunting and gun writers of the twentieth century. Opinionated and witty his personality shines through in this collection of letters. <br/><br/>On animal classification: "Between us girls I think the American taxonomists have gone hog wild on sub-species. I think the British are much smarter.They say that all caribou are one species and they have damn few sub-species." <br/><br/>On an acquaintances and associates: "As I remember him he was a little guy dark and strictly a bastard"; "Bill Steigers is likewise a big-bore nut playing with a large bullet or gazing at a big hole in the end of a barrel gives him a deep and voluptuous satisfaction often causing tumescence in his male organ"; "From all I can tell this Earl Etter is a real vicious bastard fat-headed quarrelsome and mean. One thing I know for certain is that he is an ignoramus"; "This Herter is quite a guy. I think he's at least half nuts maybe more. He has more misinformation in his books than the Encyclopedia Britannica has information."<br/><br/>On the Hotel Edison: "I have never set foot in the Hotel Edison but I have heard it was a dump."<br/><br/>On a failed bear-hunting expedition: "Our companions were two young Englishmen.Both had very attractive wives.We really had a grand time but those guys were the spookiest bear hunters I have ever seen in my life. They missed two good trophy grizzlies--one at 30 yards and one at 110 yards--and a very good black bear at about 50 yards. In all cases the bears were standing."<br/><br/>On the Civil War: "I am a Civil War buff.One of these days I am going to do an article that will make a lot of Southerners scream like catamounts. The thesis of the piece will be that Lee was an overrated general who made his reputation on a bunch of fiddle-fotted sic and gutless Union generals."<br/><br/>On family histories: "My uncle Bill O'Connor got a girl knocked up when he was a senior in law school in California and took it on the lam.My mothers' people were Kentuckians but they were not planters--just prosperous farmers."<br/><br/>On criticism: "Bill Rae has got hundreds of these nut letters.I always tell these creeps that if they don't like to read stories about killing birds and animals and catching fish they should read something besides Outdoor Life Field & Stream and Sports Afield because these magazines are about shooting animals and birds and catching fish" Ellen Enzler Herring Jack O'Connor: Catalogue of Letters 5 6 34 71 86 111 138 142 148 176 184 200 252 261 & 263 unknown books

Kurt Meyer-Eberhardt German 1895 - 1957<br/>Kurt Meyer-Eberhardt is one of the most famous and revered 20th century dog artists. He was born in 1895 in Leipzig Germany and died in Munich in 1977. He studied at the Weimar Academy of Fine Arts where he became a student under the artists Theodor Hagen and Lionel Feininger. He rejected a professorship in Weimar and went to Munich in 1918 where he decided to work entirely on animal engravings.<br/>In 1926 he held his last exhibition in the "New Secession." He was a staunch individualist who rejected the offer of a professorship in Weimar because he valued his independence too much. The only thing he wanted was to continue depicting his beloved dogs cats and other animals.<br/>His work has been published by the Hanfstaengl Publishing Company in Munich since 1917. His engravings are still published today at the printing shop in Munich - formally Franz Hanfstaengl Munich . All etchings are still printed on 300lb hand made acid-free paper printed by hand from the original copper plates using the same directions as given by the artist himself. unknown books
