Book Description
Louis Friedrich had no idea back in 1939 what he was creating when he purchased property in Michigan and built a hunting camp he called Singing Hills. It was just a rustic cabin in the woods, but over time it grew roots into the heart of an entire family. Learn about the colorful characters that have graced the camp over the years in this hunting camp memoir. Hear the rich and funny tales from days past about poachers and pranks, bears and bucks, and even voices from the great beyond. The author's life was upended at age 3 when his mother died and he had to leave home and live with relatives. The hunting camp was his rock throughout an unconventional childhood. It also served as a bridge to maintain his relationship with his father, and later in adulthood, his own son. Join the author on a journey that will make you laugh and cry. "That Hunting Camp" will show you how a cabin in the woods can mean so much more to a family than one could ever imagine.

Book Description
In Mississippi Hunting Camps: A Way of Life author Bill R. Lea vividly captures with words and photographs the unique phenomenon of hunting camp life that prevails in the Magnolia State, a way of life that involves family, fellowship, food, fun and faith. Traveling several years to numerous camps—a privilege rarely given to outsiders—Lea was afforded an insiders look at camps ranging from the exclusive “high dollar” to the “Bubba” camps, from large to small, from new to historic and from white to black where he found commonalities among all, allowing him to give the reader a rare insight into why hunting camps in Mississippi are truly “A Way of Life.”

Book Description
For readers of The Stranger in the Woods and H Is for Hawk, a beautifully written and emotionally rewarding memoir about a father, his three sons, and a scrappy 100-acre piece of land in rural Michigan. Some families have to dig hard to find the love that holds them together. Some have to grow it out of the ground. Bruce Kuipers was good at hunting, fishing, and working, but not at much else that makes a real father or husband. Conflicted, angry, and a serial cheater, he destroyed his relationship with his wife, Nancy, and alienated his three sons-journalist Dean, woodsman Brett, and troubled yet brilliant fisherman Joe. He distrusted people and clung to rural America as a place to hide. So when Bruce purchased a 100-acre hunting property as a way to reconnect with his sons, they resisted. The land was the perfect bait, but none of them knew how to be together as a family. Conflicts arose over whether the land-an old farm that had been degraded and reduced to a few stands of pine and blowing sand-should be left alone or be actively restored. After a decade-long impasse, Bruce acquiesced, and his sons proceeded with their restoration plan. What happened next was a miracle of nature. Dean Kuipers weaves a beautiful and surprising story about the restorative power of land and of his own family, which so desperately needed healing. Heartwarming and profound, The Deer Camp is the perfect story of fathers, sons, and the beauty and magic of the natural world.

Book Description
As thrilling as any novel, as taut and exciting as any adventure story, Peter Hathaway Capstick’s Death in the Long Grass takes us deep into the heart of darkness to view Africa through the eyes of one of the most renowned professional hunters. Few men can say they have known Africa as Capstick has known it—leading safaris through lion country; tracking man-eating leopards along tangled jungle paths; running for cover as fear-maddened elephants stampede in all directions. And of the few who have known this dangerous way of life, fewer still can recount their adventures with the flair of this former professional hunter-turned-writer. Based on Capstick’s own experiences and the personal accounts of his colleagues, Death in the Long Grassportrays the great killers of the African bush—not only the lion, leopard, and elephant, but the primitive rhino and the crocodile waiting for its unsuspecting prey, the titanic hippo and the Cape buffalo charging like an express train out of control. Capstick was a born raconteur whose colorful descriptions and eye for exciting, authentic detail bring us face to face with some of the most ferocious killers in the world—underrated killers like the surprisingly brave and cunning hyena, silent killers such as the lightning-fast black mamba snake, collective killers like the wild dog. Readers can lean back in a chair, sip a tall, iced drink, and revel in the kinds of hunting stories Hemingway and Ruark used to hear in hotel bars from Nairobi to Johannesburg, as veteran hunters would tell of what they heard beyond the campfire and saw through the sights of an express rifle.
