| "Hunting Hog" An Amazon
Short |
| We
laughed. We sweated and strained. Hunting Hog is a true story of
this easterner, a born and bred New Yorker, in the scrub country of
Texas, 120 miles west of Houston. On horseback and foot, with hounds
and rifles, in the early morning when the sun barely spattered the
dawn, hunting was a happy, invigorating meeting of cultures east and
west. This was a weekend I will never forget. |

River Walk |
| Many accounts
have been recorded of the historic expedition led by Meriwether
Lewis and William Clark across the North American continent. The
journals of the dramatic journey are full of what Sergeant Patrick
Gass, in his entry of April 5, 1805 called "useful information." But
Rita Cleary offers the story from a different point of view: through
the eyes of John Collins, who is persuaded to join the expedition by
his friend, Georges Drouillard, a hunter who will supply meat for
the voyagers. Collins finds himself having to make friends among a
highly mixed company, including a group of French-Indian rivermen.
Collins' love affair with a young French woman ends disastrously,
but then he meets and falls in love with Laughing Water, a young
Mandan widow. Lewis and Clark's agreement with the members of the
expedition prohibited desertions for any reason. For Collins, this
oath of allegiance becomes a seemingly insoluble dilemma. |
