A collection of hunting stories "from the time of great surplus and little pressure to the complications of the present day."Theophilus Nash Buckingham (1880-1971), commonly referred to as Nash Buckingham, was an American author and conservationist from Tennessee.

Buckingham wrote nine books and hundreds of articles that regularly appeared in such magazines as Outdoor Life, Field & Stream, and Sports Afield and Recreation.

An avid shotgunner and wing shot, Buckingham was considered an authority on topics relating to waterfowl and upland birds, as well as the methods and tools used to hunt them. Although Buckingham pursued a variety of game in his lifetime, if his own writing is a true indication, it would seem that "Mr. Buck" possessed a special fondness for ducks and quail. He was active in a number of outdoor related activities such as Field Judging and a dedicated and influential participant in a number of worthy causes devoted to the betterment of hunting, sporting literature and the preservation of the American outdoor tradition. As such, Buckingham was given a number of prestigious awards for having used his voice to help the cause of conservation. He spoke out often and eloquently about the necessity of enforcing game laws and was a staunch advocate of the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918.
