Bøker av Johnson Jones Hooper

This classic work of Southern humor follows the misadventures of Simon Suggs, a ne'er-do-well who manages to get himself into trouble no matter where he goes.

Although the book is a manual for the hunter, with characteristic humor and a certain disdain Hooper gives a full picture of the gentlemanly sport of hunting--as clearly distinct from hunting for food--in all aspects including hunter, weaponry, and sporting dogs.
