Besides Tenth Legion Fav Tom Kelly Book

[FLGobstopper]

Looking to add to the collection some more great reading by the Col Tom Kelly. So everyone knows Tenth Legion, but besides that what do you consider a must own or read? What are your favorites and why?

I have every book Mr Kelly wrote as well as the cd version of him reading the books. Better on a rising Tide is one of my favorites all of his books have humor and some history. A lot of the stories about the logging of the original Longleaf stands of Pine in Alabama apply to Louisiana Mississippi and a lot of the southeast. The Boat is another good one about the building of a boat used for hunting and the people and places that went along with the construction. Tom Kelly is a great writer and you'll enjoy any of his books.

I reread "A Fork in the Road" before every spring gobbler season.

I have all of them and have bought copies for my two young sons. I would be hard pressed to pick a favorite. I recommend that you buy The Best of Tom Kelly, vol. 1 and 2.

I just have-- FACES IN THE CROWD. I think this is one of his books that are hard to find.

I have read "Tenth Legion" every February since 1978.

The other book from Col Kelly that I enjoy is " The Season". Both books should be in a person's book collection.

Better In A Rising Tide is my favorite over Tenth Legion.

Excellent choice as well, I own his collector's edition and generally read all 8 volumes every spring, "The Season" is one of my favorites...

Dealers Choice is a must Kelly read.

After 'Tenth Legion' my favorite is 'Take Back in Fancy' a lot of good Kelly wit and turkey knowledge in it.

[Halfski]

His earlier books are all good.

Lots of great choices, but if strictly wanting to follow along on the trials and tribulations of some turkey hunts, The Season is a good one.

Better on a Rising Tide, The Season and Dealer's Choice.

I have the tenth legion, but I also recommend the season, I don't have it, but it's at the local library,as well as other turkey books. I've heard some videos that are on YouTube, and he sounds like a very interesting fellow, one I could set and talk with for days on end!
