A Hunter's Heart

The editor, himself a committed hunter, has assembled a distinguished group of writers, including Edward Abbey, Rick Bass, Jimmy Carter, A.B. Guthrie Jr., Jim Harrison, Barry Lopez, Peter Matthiessen, and Terry Tempest Williams. Expressing a sentiment most of these writers share, Richard K. Nelson writes in the book's introduction: "Hunting sharpens my awareness that I am an animal, not separate from my fellow creatures but twisted together with them in one great. Braidwork of life. Hunting brings me into the wild and brings the wild into me."

First sentence: None of this was quite enough, all together, to keep a family of seven in meat, all the time, through the frozen Appalachian winters.
