George, I think you have proven my point. As I said before, Babcock was no Nash Buckingham.
Eightbore, no, and these two great Southern authors are not particularly comparable in my mind. Nash has been my favorite outdoor writer since I discovered his work in the Jr. High library during study hall, many many years ago. Its a matter of taste , I guess, which was the better writer, but if you want the winner to be Buckingham, that's ok with me.
I really have no idea what you mean by fictional fantasy or whatever you called it, but the works of both were fiction in my mind, although Nash insisted on writing in the first person as though all he wrote about was a recollection of his own experiences...Geo
