 Jack
O'Connor
Robert Anderson (261pp)
Price
$34.95 HC
This is the book all hunters in North America have
been waiting for—the long-awaited biography on Jack O'Connor! Jack O'Connor
was the preeminent North American big-game hunter and gunwriter of the
twentieth century, and Robert Anderson's masterfully written new work is a
blockbuster filled with fascinating facts and stories about this
controversial character. With the full cooperation of the O'Connor children,
Anderson spent three years interviewing O'Connor's family and friends as
well as delving into JOC's papers, photos, and letters, including the
extensive correspondence between O'Connor and Bob Householder, and the
O'Connor papers from Washington State University. O'Connor's lifelong friend
Buck Buckner has contributed two chapters on his experiences with the master
of North American hunting.
Find out how many (desert) sheep and Grand Slams JOC
really shot; how JOC killed the same sable antelope twice (10 years apart!);
how his absentmindedness made him lose his car; and how he shot his own toe
off. Learn about the early years of hardship in Arizona for the O'Connor
family and the tragedy that befell Jerry, their oldest son. Then there were
the glory years after WW II as O'Connor undeniably rose to the top of his
profession, when he and Eleanor hunted tiger in India, sheep in Iran,
buffalo in Tanganyika, and became acquainted with princes and potentates as
well as the moguls of the hunting and firearms industries. His stories in
Outdoor Life could make or break a product and moved thousands of readers to
book a hunt or buy a gun.
This exciting biography is illustrated with dozens of
never-before-seen photos made available by the family, and it includes an
extensive timeline that lists the major game animals O'Connor shot, the guns
he owned, the trips he took, and the books he wrote. The life of JOC is a
book on a hunter for hunters by a hunter, and is a must for anyone
interested in one of the most famous gunwriters of all time.
