About this title

Synopsis

A fictional Maine guide who won many friends and admirers through the pages of Field & Stream magazine in the 1920s and '30s, Dud Dean is very much a product of his creator. Arthur Macdougall was an avid outdoorsman and a minister in Bingham, Maine, a tiny town perched on the reaches of the mighty Kennebec River. The tales in this book were compiled by Macdougall's son, Walter.

From the Author

From Walter Macdougall, who compiled this book: "Action swirls in these stories. We feel the tension in the straining leader. We fear we may step on a twig and warn the splendid buck. We settle back in the yellow lamplight and sense the warmth of the camp stove. At another time we can feel the cold rain dribble down our back as we fish a mist-shrouded wilderness pond. As my father put it, Dud tramps in "a less involved and a more elementally real world."
