Not much that I can say that hasn't already been said by those much more eloquent than myself, but if you are a hunter/fisherman that hasn't read Harrisons fiction or essays on food and sport, than you really are missing out and I highly recommend you go pick up one of his books. This guy burned the candle at both ends, and its amazing he lived as long as he did.
I did write a short piece on him following his death, for Wide Open Spaces. It was a real honor.

He has been my favorite author since I discovered his work back in 2003. Its to bad that he was criminally underappreciated by most readers in America, but to those that loved his work, he will go down in history as a monolithic figure in literature and in life.
