Edward Nickens has written a very popular column for Field & Stream magazine called "Total Outdoorsman" for six years. It's a first-person essay that explores the modern expression of hunting and fishing in America. Along with the editors at Field & Stream, he has chosen the best of these articles and collected them in a book for the first time. Nickens is best known to readers of Field & Stream and Garden & Gun, for essay-driven articles, and that's what this collection reflects.
Eddie Nickens has written a regular column for Field & Stream magazine for nearly six years, called "Total Outdoorsman." It's a first-person essay that explores the modern expression of hunting and fishing in America. It's not a how-to, but the dedicated space in the magazine for narrative-driven, creative renderings of why we love the outdoors so passionately. It's a favorite of readers and the F&S editors. Nickens has been a full-time freelance journalist for 30+ years, published in magazines from Smithsonian to National Geographic Adventure to Men's Journal. He's been editor-at-large for Field & Stream, a contributing editor for Garden & Gun, and a contributing editor to Audubon magazine for many years. He's had tons of awards and ASME Ellie nominations--one win--and his work has been collected in other anthologies including Men's Journal's The Great Life, Guys Read: True Stories, Cornbread Nation: The Best of Southern Food Writing and Chicken Soup for the Nature Lover's Soul. His work has also been published in three Garden & Gun books. He lives in Raleigh, NC.
