F.M. ALLEN The lost love letter of Grantand Rice? A great read:

http://campsmoke.fmallen.com/?p=2782

campsmoke.fmallen.com
This was a great story that ran in The Tennessean last week. The story itself is great, but the nostalgia to a time when people wrote more letters is also something that most of our readers will appreciate. ...

F.M. ALLEN The remarkable story of compassion between enemies during World War II, especially fitting this time of year:
http://campsmoke.fmallen.com/?p=2760

Human compassion is a part of any Christmas story. At it’s core, Christmas is a time when the best traits of man shine through. But, the bloodthirsty reality of war rarely allows the more compassionate human traits to be on display. ...

F.M. ALLEN We've started a new feature on Camp Smoke where we will be showing you some of our most popular items and give you some ideas on how they can be worn. Today we look at our new Denim Jac-Shirt:
http://campsmoke.fmallen.com/?p=2715

campsmoke.fmallen.com
Our Denim Jac-Shirt has been one of the best sellers this fall, and it’s not hard to see why. It’s the ultimate in versatility – comfortable enough to be worn on its own as shirt but with the heft needed to be the ultimate layering piece when there’s a chill in the air. ...

F.M. ALLEN An interesting look back at Rudyard Kipling's time in Vermont. Many forget that he did some of his best writing while he was living here in the States.
http://campsmoke.fmallen.com/?p=2699

It was far from the Indian jungles where the stories of Mowgli and friends took place, but it was in a tiny cottage in the sleepy hillsides of Vermont that Rudyard Kipling penned the magical tales captured in the Jungle Books. ...

F.M. ALLEN For all of those in charge of tending bar this holiday season, here is an inredibly tasty way to serve a lot of booze:
http://campsmoke.fmallen.com/?p=2690

Eggnog is not something prepared or served around a campfire. We know that and apologize in advance for getting off course. But, we are trying to help you out because we know the gentleman of the house is usually in charge of the bar at the holiday party. ...

F.M. ALLEN A great look at one of our favorite breeds of dogs, the beautiful (and rare) fox red Labrador Retriever: http://campsmoke.fmallen.com/?p=2623

campsmoke.fmallen.com
The Labrador Retriever is the unquestioned king of American dogs. In each of the last 17 years, more labs have been registered with the AKC than any other breed. In 2008, there were more than twice as many labs registered than the No. ...

F.M. ALLEN A neat read on the Heisman Trophy and the man who unknowingly became its model:
http://campsmoke.fmallen.com/?p=2564

campsmoke.fmallen.com
The Heisman Trophy is arguably the most recognized trophy in American sports. The 25 pound bronze statue is coveted by the most outstanding players in college football in any given year. But, for all the legendary names that have won the award, none were used as a model for the award. ...

F.M. ALLEN In case you were too busy stuffing your face yesterday to read Camp Smoke....The real story of the Mayflower:
http://campsmoke.fmallen.com/?p=2466

campsmoke.fmallen.com
The story of the first Thanksgiving is well told. So well told, that we have missed the story that is really worth repeating. It’s the story of bravery and determination of individuals who pioneered a new land against all odds. ...

Thanks for this! I was just making the argument here in London last night that the point of Thanksgiving was to celebrate leaving England.

F.M. ALLEN A great story on Explorer Ernest Shackleton and his lost Scotch....2 of our favorite things to blog about on Camp Smoke. We now promise to take a break from Scotch musings for a bit.
http://campsmoke.fmallen.com/?p=2456

campsmoke.fmallen.com
Recently we’ve done features on fine Scotch, as well as features on Ernest Shackleton and his explorations. In a wonderfully serendipitous moment for Camp Smoke, a great story on Ernest Shackleton’s lost Scotch recently fell in our laps.

F.M. ALLEN CAMPFIRE GOURMET: The Fried Turkey. What's your method?
http://campsmoke.fmallen.com/?p=2433

campsmoke.fmallen.com
Somewhere along the line, Southerners came up with the idea to take the traditional bird of Thanksgiving and cook him like any good Southerner would. That’s right, fry him in grease. It was really a wonderful idea and has slowly become a staple of many Thanksgiving feasts all over the country. ...

F.M. ALLEN A forerunner to our FM ALLEN FIVE on Scotch to be released tommorow...Scotch 101. How does man's most loyal friend come to be?
http://campsmoke.fmallen.com/?p=2386

campsmoke.fmallen.com
Heading in the holiday season, we feel it is timely to offer some background into Scotch. It’s the most labor intensive spirit to produce, which is why it fetches higher prices tags than its kin. ...

F.M. ALLEN Read about the 75 round final fight of the bare knuckles era--what many consider to be the greatest boxing bout in history:
http://campsmoke.fmallen.com/?p=2358

campsmoke.fmallen.com
For most of us, it’s considered an honor to be called a man’s man. But, that title seems downright insulting to fellow like John L. Sullivan. The legendary pugilist seems to have been born perfectly mustachioed and ready to rumble. ...
