A Sportsman's Journey lyrically and spiritually connects readers
with the natural world. Donald C. Jackson explores the rhythms and
ways of hunting and fishing, particularly in America's Deep South,
and in so doing helps readers understand and find meaning in why
hunters and anglers venture far afield. Journeying alongside the
author, readers will savor the magic of sunrises and the mystery of
twilight. Hearts will quicken as deer drift from shadows and ducks
circle a woodland pond. The ocean will challenge them as they fight
large fish from the deck of a wave-tossed boat far out at sea.
Restless winds will whisper messages during a spring squirrel hunt
on a Mississippi farm. Bird dogs, old guns, old friends, and times
shared with loved ones will remind anglers and hunters of those
special, shared memories. Ancient forests and powerful rivers
remind us of our fragile, ephemeral state. Quail hunts strengthen
cherished relationships with companions. Encounters with a mountain
man will take us into a world thought to have vanished generations
ago. A gathering of anglers on a Gulf Coast fishing pier at night
reminds us of those hidden communities that exist around us, and
are often unrecognized or perhaps even unknown. Jackson reveals how
all of us depend on the natural world and share very personal
interactions with it and with each other. This book reminds us that
rediscovering, resurrecting, and celebrating these primal linkages
are the real reasons we explore the world.
