Every true outdoorsman should have Pat Mcmanus's books on the back of their toilet. A funny collection of short stories.

The Flaming Turkey by Robert Hitt Neil is a great read.

Rising Tide if you’re interested in Mississippi River and coastal issues/politics of LA....

If you like waterfowl Google Worth Mathewson, he has a couple of his own, Big December Canvasbacks being 1, plus 4 compilations of stories from the hey day of duck hunting. He also had some British wildfowling books from his collection he was selling off a few years back. He is active on Duckboats.net also.
Nash Buckingham's 0nce upon a Time is a great collection also.
For Turkey hunters, Tom Kelly has great books and I'm not even a turkey Hunter..

I have trouble really getting into the political chapters of the books, but thoroughly enjoy the engineering side.
8/10 overall.

Absolutely this.
Robert Ruark as well - something of value is one of my all time favorite books.

WOULD NOT recommend this for the deer doggers of the OB.
Lmao!
Colonel Kelly does not think highly of that group at all.
But 10th Legion is a fantastic book, and I would add One Man Game by Kenny Morgan.
If you consider yourself a turkey hunter and haven't read 10th Legion or One Man Game, you aren't a very serious turkey hunter. McIllhenny's book on the wild turkey is pretty good as well.

A couple more regional books I've read:
Dr. Malcolm Vidrine's "The Cajun Prairie: A Natural History" for anyone interested in the cajun/coastal prairie of Louisiana, or SWLA history/ecology in general.
"Winding Through Time". The history of Bayou Manchac and the role it played in shaping Louisiana/the US.
"Searching for Longleaf". Pretty self explanatory, but about the ecology and history of the longleaf pine ecosystem of the SE.

You ever read The River of Doubt?
After Roosevelt lost his bid for a third term as President he took a trip down the Amazon with his son. He almost died on this trip. Really good read.
Bought the book after reading this thread.
Read it in a day and a half.
Holy hell what a good book. Incredibly easy read while remaining detailed. Roosevelt is/was the man.
Remains my second favorite historical book behind The Boys in the Boat

Glad you enjoyed it. Can you imagine one
of the last four or five Presidents making a trip like this?
One of the greatest books I ever read about survival and adventure was Endurance: Shackleton's Incredible Voyage. It’s incredible how tough people used to be. I highly recommend it.

So, thanks to Christmas, I added the following to my collection:
American Buffalo
Coyote America
Hunting Trips of a Ranchman and the Wilderness Hunter
Man and Nature (George Perkins Marsh)
A Hunter's Heart: Honest Essays on Blood Sport
Started reading American Buffalo yesterday afternoon, and I'm already halfway through. Great book!

While I'm a huge Nash Buckingham fan, I would rank Once Upon aTime at the tail end of a must read list of Nash books.
If you like classic outdoors stories I would highly reccomend the following Buckingham books:
De Shootinest Gentman
Game Bag
Tattered Coat
Blood Lines
If you like stuff about the West, I would also recommend Forty Years on the Frontier by Granville Stuart.
Gene Hill is pretty good as has already been mentioned.
If you have any interest in turkey hunting, One Man Game by Kenny Morgan is pretty good. Louisiana native, and if you believe what you hear about him, he was half turkey himself.

Bump.
Just finished reading The Last of the Mohicans, and I hate to admit it, but I really did not enjoy it.
I know it's considered a classic, but it just came across as a decent story. Nothing special really.
It was also quite tough to read as Fennimore's writing style is pretty unique. I honestly just was not a fan of it unfortunately.
