Book Description
A deluxe, gift edition of captivating hunting and adventure tales from a celebrated outdoors writer, collected together for the first time. Jim Carmichel hunted around the world during his nearly forty years as shooting editor of Outdoor Life magazine. But none of his amazing adventures ever made it into book form—until now. Classic Carmichel features more than 360 pages of hunting adventures and firearms expertise by Carmichel, who is widely acknowledged as one of the foremost experts on sporting arms. Carmichel’s exploits and prowess had no equal during what is arguably the golden age of international hunting and shooting. These are not just stories by a well-traveled adventurer—they are pure literature, written with a style and elegance that deserve inclusion in any collection of great outdoors books and writers. His riveting tales include the monster “dead” crocodile that came back to life twice and almost killed him on Zimbabwe’s Zambezi River, also known as the River of Death; his harrowing three-mile high hunt in the Andes of Peru where he ended up without a rifle; the drama and intrigue of a $100,000 Russian stag hunt organized by the KGB; his Alaskan moose hunt in the middle of Typhoon Oscar; stalking deer in Arizona’s legendary strip; plus many more tales! Written with unparalleled grace and elegance, Classic Carmichel is a true testament to a hunting master.

Marshall Chapman knows Nashville. A musician, songwriter, and author with nearly a dozen albums and a bestselling memoir under her belt, Chapman has lived and breathed Music City for over forty years. Her friendships with those who helped make Nashville one of the major forces in American music culture is unsurpassed. And in her new book, They Came to Nashville, the reader is invited to see Marshall Chapman as never before--as music journalist extraordinaire. In They Came to Nashville, Chapman records the personal stories of musicians shaping the modern history of music in Nashville, from the mouths of the musicians themselves. The trials, tribulations, and evolution of Music City are on display, as she sits down with influential figures like Kris Kristofferson, Emmylou Harris, and Miranda Lambert, and a dozen other top names, to record what brought each of them to Nashville and what inspired them to persevere. The book culminates in a hilarious and heroic attempt to find enough free time with Willie Nelson to get a proper interview.

They Came to Nashville reveals the daily struggle facing newcomers to the music business, and the promise awaiting those willing to fight for the dream.
