The Night the Bear Ate Goombaw - Paperback

by Patrick F. McManus (Author)

America's "most gifted outdoor humorist" (Detroit Free Press) regales readers with this collection of gut-busting, man vs. nature tales originally published in such magazines as Field & Stream and Outdoor Living.

Patrick F. McManus's hilarious and comic stories of camping and other nature-oriented activities reach ridiculous proportions in The Night the Bear Ate Goombaw. From teaching his stepfather the methods of madness behind farm work through his best friend's grandmother's fear of bears, McManus reveals that human behavior is even wilder than the wilderness.
