About This Book
A collection of gut-busting, man vs. nature tales from America's "most gifted outdoor humorist," the Field & Stream and Outdoor Life columnist (Detroit Free Press).
Patrick F. McManus's hilarious and comic stories of camping and other nature-oriented activities reach ridiculous proportions in The Night the Bear Ate Goombaw. From teaching his stepfather the methods of madness behind farm work through his best friend's grandmother's fear of bears, McManus reveals that human behavior is even wilder than the wilderness.
