Traditions, Tales, and Tables: Celebrating the Black Belt’s Hunting and Fishing Heritage

AWARD WINNING!

This award-winning literary work of art celebrates the rich traditions of hunting and fishing that are deeply embedded in the lives of those fortunate to call Alabama’s Black Belt home.

The “Black Belt Bounty” book’s captivating cover will draw you into the pages filled with striking images from some of today’s most gifted wildlife photographers and artists. Their visual offerings are perfectly counterbalanced by words from an impressive bevy of skilled, award-winning writers and recipes from some of Alabama’s nationally recognized celebrity chefs.

As an exquisitely produced coffee table book, it’s a treasure no devotee of the natural world, no serious sportsman, and no connoisseur of stunning visual art and stirring words will want to be without. It is a volume that will bring distinction to the shelves and tables of any bibliophile and lover of the Alabama heartland and who enjoys sporting adventures in these bountiful wonders of sedge grass fields and sprawling prairies, our woodlands and waterways.
