Bag om Fred Kimble

""Fred Kimble: Master Duck Shot Of The World (1823)"" is a book written by Charles Askins that tells the story of Fred Kimble, a renowned duck hunter in the early 19th century. The book provides a detailed account of Kimble's life, from his childhood in the rural South to his rise to fame as one of the most skilled duck hunters in the world. Askins describes Kimble's hunting techniques, his mastery of the shotgun, and his deep knowledge of the habits and behaviors of ducks. The book also explores the social and cultural context of duck hunting in the 19th century, including the role of hunting in Southern culture and the commercial aspects of the sport. Overall, ""Fred Kimble: Master Duck Shot Of The World (1823)"" offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of duck hunting in the early 19th century and the life of one of its most legendary practitioners.Additional Author/Contributor: Theodore S. Van Dyke. This extremely rare, short anthology of waterfowl hunting was written and assembled by five major contributors, namely Charles Askins, Fred Kimble himself, William C. Hazelton, Joseph Ragland, and Theodore S. Van Dyke. Askins was an Army officer active in military and, later, sporting marksmanship development, and author of several hunting books. Kimble was among the small group of renowned waterfowl market hunters who in later life turned their shooting interests to public tournaments and exhibitions.--Henry M. Reeves.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
