"A book that is long overdue, considering the rich tradition of
hunting and fishing in Kentucky, and our bounty of natural
resources." -- Art Lander, Outdoors Columnist, Lexington
Herald-Leader
"A journey through time and changing landscapes, yet it has a
constant" -- Northern Kentucky Challenger
"A superb collection. Ellis has covered an extraordinary swath of
ground with this collection, the first that I know of to so
thoroughly plow through the state's deep outdoor roots." --
Louisville Courier-Journal
"An insightful and varied view of Kentucky's lush landscape from
many voices, past and present.... Will certainly appeal to hunters,
anglers, environmentalists, and those who simply enjoy the
outdoors" -- Kentucky Monthly
"Filled with 74 essays, stories, and poems and more than 50
illustrations, the diverse collection is an exploration of
Kentuckians' kinship with the land and an attempt to describe, even
if words are inadequate, the ancestral spirit that draws us to wild
places." -- Kentucky Post
"It is a journey through time and changing landscapes, yet it has a
constant" -- The Sunday Challenger
"No other state offers such a variety of topics for its writers and
this one, which incorporates love of the land and the love of
nature, is special. This anthology may well inspire others to share
tales concerning this genre, and kudos to all if it does" -- James
C. Claypool, Northern Kentucky University
"Offering tales of fishing, hiking, canoeing" -- Chevy Chaser
"Reading Of Woods & Waters is a sensory experience. Its fine,
down-home musings stay with you long after the last page is
turned." -- Constance Alexander, Murray Ledger and Times
"Takes your mind outside. Read enough of it and you might get out
of the chair and follow." -- Lexington Herald-Leader
"This is as good a volume of hunting, fishing, and nature writing
as I've seen. It gathers over a century of fine writing about the
central Appalachian landscape from John James Audubon's day to the
present." -- Gray's Sporting Journal
