Description: Normal 0 false false false EN-US X-NONE X-NONE Offered here is a new and unread copy of Chesapeake Bay Retrievers, Decoys and Long Guns: Tales of Carroll's Island Ducking Club by C. John Sullivan, Jr. Softcover. Illustrated. Third printing of the first edition. Well worth the cover price of $21.99, but this copy can be yours for less. From the back cover: Carroll's Island is one of many places along the Chesapeake Bay where vibrant stories of dogs, decoys, guns and waterfowl resonate up from the shoreline. The stories from Carroll's Island Ducking Club, which was founded in the mid-nineteenth century, offer special insights about the Chesapeake Bay's waterfowling heritage. In this warm, informative book, C. John Sullivan Jr., one of the nation's leading decoy collectors and scholars, documents the development of the Chesapeake Bay retriever and how gunners once devised decoys and new firearms and enjoyed the bounty of the Chesapeake Bay. Eventually Carroll’s Island Ducking Club would disappear, but its legacy can still be seen today in the role members played in establishing the Chesapeake Bay retriever as Maryland’s state dog. Please see my other auctions for more great books on wingshooting, waterfowling, decoys and more. I combine on shipping. Email with any questions. Good luck.
