Upland Days
Upland Days chronicles a half-century of tromping the New England woods with amiable companions, both two- and four-footed.  The author writes about such legendary grouse hunters as his father, H.G. "Tap" Tapply, and his bird-hunting mentor, Burton L. Spiller.  The book contains a happy mix of lore, whimsy, nostalgia, wisdom, and romance.  It's about the pleasures of the hunt and a lifelong love affair with grouse and woodcock and other game birds.
