ADVENTURE IS MY BUSINESS

Volume II (1951-1955)

by Russell Annabel

Russell Annabel was one of America's most outstanding and gifted outdoor writers; in fact, Ernest Hemingway said Annabel was "the finest outdoor writer" that he had ever read-an endorsement most writers can only dream about! Annabel started writing of his adventures in the Northland in the 1930s and continued writing until the late 1970s. Follow Annabel and his mentor, Tex Cobb, around in Alaska as they face enraged grizzlies, trophy Dall sheep, marauding wolverines, and mad moose. No other writer has ever been able to capture the spirit of adventure and hunting in Alaska like Russell Annabel. Most of the stories in this collection were taken from Sports Afield, but there were also articles taken from True, Outdoor Life, Field & Stream, Hunting Yearbook, and American Rod and Gun. Some of the stories include "Murderer in the Trees," "Trapping Is No Way to Get Rich," "Brawn, as in Bruin," "Saga of the Red One," and "Adventure Is My Business." Like volume one, this book was an instantaneous sellout.
