Corey Ford wrote a wonderful column in "Field & Stream" magazine called "Minutes of the Lower Forty." It is a fictional history of a New Englad hunting club and the characters and stories are hilarious.
Ford was one of those New York society writers who could have (and probably did) sat at the Algonquin Table on occasion. He is credited with coming up with the name of the foppish dandy symbol (Eustace Tilley, if you must know!) of the "New Yorker" magazine. He was also a fine writer of hunting and outdoor stories.
The book contains many of his delightful columns and several of his stories, including his most famous (and most published in collections) "The Road To Tinkhamtown."
I'm putting this in the stack on my nightstand for a re-read.
