The Outdoor Sporting Library is a site dedicated to providing information on books and other media focused on hunting, fishing, and related outdoor pursuits.
A wealth of literature exists in the hunting and fishing world, including fiction and nonfiction books, short stories, and essays relating to the sport. Unfortunately, much of the outdoor sporting works of the past have been left there, and are little known today.
The works of writers who were giants of their day, including the likes of Edmund Ware Smith and Arthur MacDougall, sit in dust-covered library shelves and old book stores, waiting to be re-discovered by a new generation of outdoor readers.
The goal of this site is to bring these old works back to life, connect the reader to places they can find them, and promote a new wave of today’s outdoor writers and their works in books, magazines and online media.
I love this site and any information to help me find more of the lost classics I enjoy reading and collecting will be welcomed help. Thanks.
