Silver City, NM: High-Lonesome Books, 2012. Second edition. Hardcover. New. 6 x 9, 245 pgs, b&w illustrations. In this collection of twenty essays and five pieces of short fiction. M.H. Salmon recalls a life of sport in which he seldom casts a fly and rarely swings on a bird. Instead, he roams the Southwest, Midwest, and the north woods in search of what William Faulkner called "the ancient and unremitting context," which is the pursuit of game with hounds. Along the way he reflects on mountain men, wilderness, urban blight, and hunting ethics; mules, trotline fishing and other scenes in a vanishing rural America; and some great game fish, like Smallmouth Bass, his "dream fish," and the surprising catfish, which ultimately offers both a lively challenge and a metaphor for life itself. Finally, in "Home with the Hounds," there is the all-day pursuit of a forty-pound Brush Wolf, and "the ambivalence any sentient hunter feels on killing an animal that has provided… Read More

Silver City, NM: High-Lonesome Books, 2017. First, thus. Hardcover. New. 6 x 9, 288 pgs, b&w photos and illustrations. Like its predecessor, the original Country Sports (2004), Country Sports II (2015), features near 100 essays of outdoor sport that range well beyond the usual "where-to-go" and "how-to-do-it" of the Hook & Bullet press. Sporting sharp opinion, insight, and the skills of a natural-born raconteur, the author trails his teen-aged son on a wilderness hunt to a quarter-mile shot at a mule deer buck; and, on a hunt for snowshoe hare, is saved from a killer blizzard by a clairvoyant Bassett. Elsewhere, the author takes on the fearsome, corporate-backed Hudson Institute in an organic farming debate, and the environmental movement for its failure to take on the issue of population growth in our own USA. He initiates, describes, and hunts with the prototype of a new breed of hunting hound; and fly fishes in Hemingway's footsteps. And more!

One hundred thousand acres of public land, complete with a year-round trout stream, potential ski resort, and butted up against the burgeoning town of Del Cobre, New Mexico, is something the local boomers and boosters - the "money men" -- can't resist. Stuffed with dreams of growth and privatization, they will stop at nothing to "add another room onto the house." Others are equally committed to saving these wild lands and waters from the roar of the bulldozer. Recalcitrant mountain man Harley Simmons (anti-hero of the previous Home is the River) teams with itinerant bookman and master polemicist Jason Niles (Signal to Depart) to make a desperate stand in the name of wild trout, resource sustainability, and the heritage of the hunter. Narrated by Harley's often beleaguered but always clear-eyed son, Alvin, Forty Freedoms reads as a compelling campfire tale. In… Read More
