Oh, Shoot! Confessions Of An Agitated Sportsman

REX BEACH

Publication: Harper & Brothers Publishers, 1921, New York

First edition. 8vo. Sienna cloth with pictorial label on front cover. Previous owner's name on FFEP. 281pp., frontis, contents, numerous illustrations, teg, weak front hinge. This is a light, comedic work in which Rex Beach steps away from his more serious adventure and gold-rush fiction to share humorous, self-deprecating "confessions" about hunting and outdoor sports. The tone is satirical rather than instructional .. he plays up the frustrations, mishaps, and absurdities of being an enthusiastic but often exasperated sportsman.
