Tolbert James Lyon

Lyon Hunts and Humor Tolbert James Lyon 1st edition

This collection of true life hunting stories were written by the hunter himself in the prime of his life as the adventures unfolded. They give a telling insight into a period of the American West that had a philosophy and humor all its own--a time that has faded and will soon be lost forever. ''Shorty'' Lyon, a widely-published writer, is best known as a hunter/trapper/philosopher but he was also a pioneer, homesteader, miner, mill hand, woodcutter, forester, conservationist, rancher, hunting guide, farmer and an honored member of the New Mexico Trapper's Hall of Fame.
