Just found the winter 2015 issue at Barnes & Noble and was surprised to find it titled "Annual Bookstore Issue"! Haven't been getting the quarterly in a couple of years so perhaps this is not the first time they've done this. Looks to be some excellent articles on classic American makers and one that I was very excited to find - "Regarding Henry: The Life and Times of a Waterfowling Icon", by Kevin McCormack. As a big fan of Nash Buckingham and his few stories of gunning the Potomac with local notables of the past, as I have done for a long time, I used to sit along those same banks of the river and think of the fine shooting they must have had. I took a new young waterfowler and his father out for a hunt on one of the Potomac's tidal bays yesterday and the young man was more than intrigued by my A.H. Fox 'duck gun' even as he shot his first 2 ducks ever - a black duck and a drake gadwall with his youth model Remington 870 20 ga. I already have set aside a sturdy 12 ga. Sterlingworth that I will give to him to shoot ducks with when he is a little older and bigger. Thanks much to those authors who continue to tell us so well of these old American-made classics and the men who made them great.
