Summer Reading: 4 Classics from Boone and Crockett Club

Four classics in outdoor literature, all digitally re-mastered and newly available from Boone and Crockett Club, top the summer reading list for hunters, adventurers and conservationists.

The paperback series includes:

  • “A Hunter’s Wanderings in Africa” by Frederick Courteney Selous
  • “Camp-Fires in the Canadian Rockies” by William T. Hornaday and John M. Phillips
  • “African Game Trails” by Theodore Roosevelt
  • “The Wilderness of the Upper Yukon” by Charles Sheldon

Each book was authored by a member of the Boone and Crockett Club in the late 1800s or early 1900s and hand-selected for digital re-mastering by a panel of experts on vintage hunting literature. Readers will be taken back to a time when hunting trips didn’t happen over a weekend, but were adventures lasting weeks or months. High-quality photographs and drawings from decades long gone are scattered throughout these titles.

The books are priced at $24.95 each and can be purchased directly from Boone and Crockett by clicking here, visiting www.boone-crockett.org or calling 888-840-4868.
