"Just when you think you've heard them all the Red Sox yarns keep unraveling. MORE TALES picks up the thread where the original left off. Writing about the Red Sox is like knittng a scarf for a giraffe: you could go on forever and never complete the job. No these stories are NOT just left over material from the original book. Every year you can count on the Bosox to come up with incidents and players who defy the imagination; every year another character knits another yarn or two. And every year you can count on guys like Mickey McDermott or Bill Lee to add some new patches to the Red Sox crazy quilt. In addition readers of the original TALES approached the authors with other Red Sox stories - wonderful tales that we had missed the first time around. " The yarns about the players are arranged in alphabetical order from Dale Alexander to Bill Zuber/Bob Zupcic. In addition there are four pages of Jokes and a Bibliography. .

An outstanding record of outdoor life and sport in southern Louisiana being Pringle's account of his shooting near the Teche and Attakapas country.

Pringle was the son of the distinguished South Carolina politician John Julius Pringle and here he recounts in elaborate detail and with marvelous photographs his hunting experiences over twenty years from 1867 in the bayous of Louisiana. It is also an account of the ecological consequences of the conversion of marshlands to agricultural purposes: with draining of the swamps and the extension of the New Orleans and Opelousas Railway now the Southern Pacific to Franklin the snipe came no more. Pringle also calls attention to the destruction of northern nesting grounds and the effect upon snipe populations. "The most valuable record of game we have.

Twenty Years Snipe Shooting offers an unique insight into an era of southern history and near forgotten lifestyle." -- Mathewson. "A very rare book; only a small number were privately printed" Gee.
