From the author of Last Horizons, Peter Hathaway Capstick now presents Death in a Lonely Land, a second volume of his hunting, fishing, and shooting adventures on five continents--stories collected from such magazines as Outdoor Life, NRA's American Hunter, Guns & Ammo, and Petersen's Hunting.

The stockbroker-turned-outdoorsman recalls his days as an African pro hunter in "The Killer Baboons of Vlackfontein." "Four Fangs in a Treetop" records a foray into British Honduras for the jaguar, "a gold-dappled teardrop of motion." Capstick narrowly escapes the Yellow Beard, Central America's deadly tree-climbing snake, and cows "The Black Death" (Cape buffalo) in the kind of article that makes this author "the guru of American hunting fans" (New York Newsday). On Brazil's forsaken Marajo Island, he bags the pugnacious red buffalo, which has the "temperament of a constipated Sumo wrestler and the tenacity of an IRS man."

The author discusses 12- and 20-gauge shotgun loads; recalls the pleasures of "biltong" (African beef jerky); describes the irresistible homemade lures of snook fishing expert John Gorbatch; and kills a genteel take of Atlantic salmon with the brilliantly simple tube fly.

Featuring more than thirty gorgeous drawings by famous wildlife artist Dino Paravano, Death in a Lonely Land is another collector's item by a writer who "keeps the tradition of great safari adventure alive in each of his books" (African Expedition Gazette).

Casual dress shirt
Size: Medium, Color: Powder Blue Vertical Stripe
I purchased a shirt for my fiancé for vacation wearing to church and just upscale casual wear around town and he loves it. He washed it and dried it and it looks good as new. He also thinks that it runs true to size and is comfortable to wear. The only note is that the fabric is a bit more thick than the other dress shirts that Amazon offers so it’s not optimal if the weather is very hot, otherwise the look is great

Very nice

Pretty good.
Size: XX-Large, Color: Pale Pink
I've bought this before, the shirt is kind of stretchy and kind of thick. It's nice quality when you get it at some discount. Beware that this is slim fit so get one size up if you want to be comfortable.

PERFECT FOR THE SUMMER
Size: XX-Large, Color: Pale Pink
Pleasantly surprised with this shirt. More pink than in the pic. The material is a bit thicker than expected (like a thin canvas) but breathable and perfect for the summer. Perfect fit for my 240ish build (2XL). Highly recommended.
