Ray P. Holland (1884-1973) a one-time editor of Field & Stream magazine, was a prolific writer of sporting books and articles, most on upland and downland game hunting. The present archive appears to be largely works that were rejected for publication by magazines such as Sports Afield, or returned by his agent. We have not done an exhaustive search, but many are likely unpublished.
