In a biography essay the author describes Hunt as a man of contradictions:both an ardent animal lover and a hunter; someone who felt at home in the woods yet lived most of his life in suburban New York.
An exploration of the artist complete with samples of his work which included Field & Stream covers, LL Bean catalogs, glassware and ceramics.
“Shelly has done a remarkable job collecting snippets of the artist's days afield...Those who appreciate fine sporting art will find this book a keeper, but those who cherish the American literary movement in the early 20th century will find plenty of reading, too... Clearly writtten and nicely organized, it is richly spiced with Hunt's memorable work. In all, a fine testament to a talented artist.”
