An excellent nature book in the mold of Edwin Way Teale (A Naturalist Buys an Old Farm) and Helen Hoover (A Place in the Woods). Andrews, a world renown explorer, bought a farm in Connecticut (1940's era) while director of the American Natural History Museum. The book chronicles some of his adventures on the farm. Andrews was an outdoorsman from a different era. The book have many stories of fishing and hunting (mostly birds). When reading the book, one must remember that Andrews was from a different era and some may question his views given today's standards. In any case, I found the book very enjoyable and interesting.
