American Hunter: How Legendary Hunters Shaped America
American Hunter is an amazing compilation of the history of America’s greatest hunters. Based on the colorful personalities of powerful men and women, this book begins with the Plains Indians and moves through legendary hunters like Daniel Boone, Davy Crockett, Kit Carson, Buffalo Bill, Teddy Roosevelt, Ernest Hemingway, Lyndon Johnson, and of course, Duck Dynasty’s Robertson family. Also included are the histories of American fox, rabbit, deer, squirrel, duck, goose, and big-game hunting, as well as action biographies of classic hunting weapons.
Author Willie Robertson, famed hunter of Duck Dynasty and Duck Commander, lends his voice to share this amazing collection of true stories to tell around the campfire after a long day’s hunt.
As Teddy Roosevelt put it, “The virility, clear-sighted common sense and resourcefulness of the American people is due to the fact that we have been a nation of hunters and frequenters of the forest, plains, and waters.” It’s about time we honor American hunters with a book that tells their incredible stories of skill, courage, and survival.
American Hunter is the perfect book for everyone who enjoys sweeping tales of American history and for those who love hunting, sport shooting, and wide open spaces.Willie Robertson is the CEO and resident prankster of Duck Commander. As the only one with a business degree, he took the company from a living room operation, down by the river, to a premiere destination for all-things outdoors. He says he honed his skills as a salesman by selling his freshly caught fish at the market with his mom as a young boy. Even then, he always worked to negotiate the best price.
In 2006, Willie began a new pursuit when he started Buck Commander. Willie and the Buckmen travel all over the country chasing white-tail deer, having a good time at hunting camp, and creating the “Buckmen” series of DVDs and the popular television show “Buck Commander: Protected by Under Armour” on the Outdoor Channel.
Willie is executive producer of both “Duck Dynasty” and “Buck Commander,” and exudes a passion for inspiring future hunters by showing the outdoor lifestyle and hunting experience in a fun and entertaining way. His unique perspective helps the two TV shows, DVDs and other products stand out in the crowd. While the Robertsons' story is a great example of entrepreneurship and following your passion, it's also about love, faith and putting family first. You can read more about Willie and his wife Korie's story in the New York Times bestseller, "The Duck Commander Family". Willie is also the author of the book "American Hunter". Which tells the stories of the traditions of hunting in America.
Willie loves being outdoors with his family and friends and is happiest at home in West Monroe, Louisiana, with his wife, Korie, and their children: John Luke, Sadie, Will, Bella, Rebecca, and Rowdy. When he is not working, you will catch him on his tractor bush-hogging a field – earphones blaring, thinking of the next idea that will keep his companies at the top of the heap.
