TITLE: The Bear Hunter: The Life and Times of Robert Eager Bobo in the
Canebrakes of the Old South, Canebrake Pub, 2015.
SPEAKER: James T. McCafferty, Attorney and Author, McComb, MS
SUMMARY: Join us as we welcome Jim McCafferty for his fabulous account of the
legendary Southern hunter Robert Eager Bobo! Over a century ago readers of
sporting journals in America and Europe relished the tales of Mississippi Delta
bear hunter Bob Bobo. Yet, in the years since, this most famous bear hunter of
the late 1800s has been all but forgotten – until now. The Bear Hunter: The
Life and Times of Robert Eager Bobo in the Canebrakes of the Old South brings
to the modern reader, not only the story of Bobo’s bear hunting, but a
thoroughly fascinating and entertaining picture of pioneer life in the
nineteenth century Delta wilderness. Come now with Bob Bobo through the wild,
trackless, Delta canebrake in search of black bear. The book will delight
hunters, outdoors lovers, nature enthusiasts, southern history buffs, folklore
fans and anyone who just enjoys a good book. Meet the author, purchase an
autographed book.
