Corey Ford

Author Corey Ford writes the classic and moving story of naturalist Georg Whlhelm Steller, who served on the 1741-42 Russian Alaska expedition with explorer Vitus Bering. Steller was one of Europe's foremost naturalists and the first to document the unique wildlife of the Alaskan coast. In the course of the voyage, Steller made his valuable discoveries and suffered, along with Bering and the cred of the ill-fated brig St. Peter, some of the most grueling experiences in the history of Arctic exploration. First published in 1966, Where the Sea Breaks Its Back was hailed as "among this country's greatest outdoor writing" by Field & Stream magazine, and today continues to enchant and enlighten the new generations of readers about this amazing and yet tragic expedition, and Georg Steller's significant discoveries as an early naturalist.

Corey Ford, one of America's finest and most loved outdoor writers, was also a dedicated wingshooter. Every fall he and his English setters, Tober and Cider, would hunt the hills and thickets of New Hampshire for grouse and woodcock. Corey also frequented the heart of quail country in North Carolina. There he would spend several weeks each winter pursuing the gentleman bobwhite quail. Here is a collection of his best wingshooting stories, many of them previously unpublished. Written with a sense of humor, The Trickiest Thing in Feathers is a definitive collection of lost bird hunting classics.
