HUNTING & AMERICAN IMAGINATION

"The historic image of the American hunter, clad in buckskins and carrying a rifle, is a cultural icon. But as Daniel Herman finds in Hunting and the American Imagination, America's hunting tradition did not spring solely from the colonial or frontier experience. By tracing American hunters' ideas about who they were and what they represented, Herman shows how Americans claimed a continent and forged enduring ideas about manliness, race, and nation."--BOOK JACKET.
