Reads like a diary of a man who made his living as a hunter in Pennsylvania. Being born in 1782 things were quite different and makes for interesting reading. A pocket knife was not mentioned in the book, but I believe if the writer had owned this one he would have cherished it. I know I do... thanks Brett.

Good read. I met this young man during his book tour through Telluride, genuinely a good guy.

Wow. How does the stag get so red. It almost looks like it has absorbed red dye. Is this one from the recent run?Reads like a diary of a man who made his living as a hunter in Pennsylvania.

Travman, you are correct it is a 72 from 2010. Indoor lighting with my camera tends to tint the subject slightly red. To the eye the stag which has been dyed red appears more brown.
I enjoy photographing my knives atop books, especially old pulp novels, but I generally crop so tightly that most of the cover isn't in view. Not today!

Awesome pic. That's a beautiful knife, and I LOVE old pulpy covers!

Love books on history but when I just want to be transported to an earlier, simpler time this book is one of my all time favorites. Have read it several times
Paul, you inspired to get a copy of this book. It just arrived today. I don't have a lot of time for reading but I couldn't resist getting a copy after reading the description and reviews. It's going to take me a long time to read these 608 pages but I'm really looking forward to it. Sounds like a great book
Thanks for the inspiration.
