Tenth Legion + Better on A Rising Tide

Two of Colonel Tom Kelly’s finest works come together in this special bundle: Tenth Legion and Better on a Rising Tide. Tenth Legion remains the defining classic of modern turkey hunting literature. Written with humor, humility, and deep reflection, it explores the spirit of the hunter and the timeless connection between man and the wild. Better on a Rising Tide expands on that legacy with 22 beautifully written chapters drawn from Kelly’s outdoor magazine articles of the 1980s and 1990s. The book captures the culture of the South, the rhythms of the timber industry, and the wit and humanity that made Kelly one of the most respected voices in outdoor writing. From the swamps and pine woods to the stories of people and traditions that shaped a lifetime, these two books together celebrate not only hunting but heritage, humor, and the art of storytelling itself.
