Lot 43
[HUNTING-AMERICA] G. GROUSE (pseud., GORHAM L. CROSS). Partridge Shortenin'; Being an Instructive and Irreverent Sketch Commentary on the Psychology, Foibles, and Footwork of Partridge Hunters.
[Wellesley Hills, MA]: Privately printed, [1949]. First edition, one of 100 copies, this example inscribed by the author. Publisher's pale green cloth. 9 x 6 inches (23 x 15 cm); unpaginated.; frontispiece, illustrations in text after photographs. Minor fading to cloth, a near-fine copy.
A charming, funny and informative book, the subject of which is far broader than the title implies. Such varied topics as speed-boating, fishing for landlocked salmon and muskellunge, wildfowling for partridge, woodcock, duck and other quarry, archaeology, discussions of sporting gear, equipment etc. wittily enliven these pages.
