John Woolf O’Connor was arguably America’s most popular outdoor writer of the twentieth century. From his first magazine article in 1934, which he sold to Sports Afield for a whopping $12.50, and continuing until just a few weeks before his death in 1978, Jack O’Connor would write nine books on hunting and sporting firearms and more than 1,200 articles for Outdoor Life, Field & Stream, Redbook, True, and Esquire. His longest and most treasured magazine association, however, was with Outdoor Life. The Lost Classics of Jack O’Connor features forty of his best Outdoor Life articles, none of which has ever appeared in any other book. They range from O’Connor’s hunts for Coues deer in his beloved desert Southwest to his pursuit of Dall sheep and grizzlies in the Yukon and lions and leopards in Africa. There are also thirty-three photographs of O’Connor on his hunts around the world, fascinating introductory articles by two of his children, and a complete bibliography. The full-color dust jacket sports a portrait of O’Connor painted by Dan Burr, who also created forty illustrations for the book. |
