Best books on Ben Lilly
Just came across this incredible hunter.

Any ideas about the best books to buy on him?

Thanks

Get the book written by Frank Dobie.He met ben lilly and did the book based on ben lillys own words and recounts of events.Ben is a legend that many hunters have never heard of.He was a cross between johnny appleseed and daniel boone & Judge roy Bean,He was a great explorer and woodsman,i love his stories and wish i could have known him and hunted with him.They dont make em like ol ben no more.He also killed bear with a knife!
Good luck and hope this helps. thumb

The Ben Lilly Legend by J.Frank Dobie is an outstading read as blackbearhunter said.I often thought it would make a great movie.


Cry 'Havoc,' and let slip the dogs of war;
That this foul deed shall smell above the earth
With carrion men, groaning for burial.

John Sundra also wrote of Ben in a book about several great outdoorsmen. I have a copy kicking around that I can LEND you GBB, but I will need it back.

Cheers, Dave.
