Hunting and the American Imagination. By Daniel Justin Herman. (Washington: Smithsonian Institution Press, 2001. xviii, 356 pp. $29.95, ISBN 1-56098-919-X.)

Scholars of American hunting have rewritten its history in recent years. What was once the history of a sport, or a vice, has become a window on a wider American experience. Daniel Justin Herman's Hunting and the American Imagination quickly moves to the front of this class. A well-written and extraordinarily learned book, it is far and away the most comprehensive and innovative cultural history of American hunting we have. |
