A Far From Ordinary Life

Have just started to read this and can hardly put it down.

The initial chapters reek of history and bygone times and Fred is a no nonsense writer.

Anyone else read this?

I have an autographed copy and it lies on the coffee table in my trophy room. Great book and a great person.

I spent a few minutes with Fred Duckworth in Reno last month. I've known him for at least 20 years and can tell you that he is the real thing. The articles he used to submit for publication in Safari magazine needed a minimum of editing, which is something I cannot say about the majority of articles I used to receive.

Could not agree more! An excellent memoir... not the typical "went there, shot that" book and superbly illustrated by Fred's lovely wife Elise. When I first paged through the book at the Rowland Ward booth I knew I had to have a ltd. edition copy!

On the plains of hesitation lie the bleached bones of ten thousand, who on the dawn of victory lay down their weary heads resting, and there resting, died.

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch...
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!
- Rudyard Kipling
