Get ready for the best thing ever done on the blood-soaked story of the white-tailed deer skin trade of the 1700s.

It's meat-eaters American history, The Longhunters, 1761 to 1775.

Narrated by me, Clay Newcombe, and my good friend Stephen Ronella,

this audio book is the first installment in Meat Eater's American History series.

This is big.

It's a wild tale about a fascinating group of Back Woodsman

and a forgotten trade in the deer skins of North America's favorite big game animal.

Featuring the story of Daniel Boone, the long hunters, and the Native Americans that were

involved in the deer skin trade.

This era is what became the foundation of American deer hunting

and we have compiled a never before compiled amount of data.

And we've researched stuff that's never been researched before.

I'm serious, this is groundbreaking stuff,

and I'm thrilled to be a part of it. It's out on January 9th, but you can pre-order it now wherever

audio books are sold. That's Meateaters American History, The Longhunters, 1771 to 1775, available for pre-order now.

When I was young, men bragged on how hard they worked.

Well, we've got the point now people brag on how hard they don't work.

You would never meet an old mountain person who bragged on being lazy.

Perhaps there are a lot of ways in which to tell a dog story, the story of a breed.

We could talk about specific legendary hounds and their exploits or tell stories about the

traits of the breed or nerd out about breeding strategy and dog lineages.

But to me, the most interesting thing about the American plothound is how it's been interwoven into the lives of the Appalachian people.
