About this ebook

W. C. Tuttle's Day Before Yesterday turns duck hunting into a comic study of hope, bragging, and spectacular disappointment. Through a mock-epic monologue, a seasoned hunter recounts the long drives, costly trips, and endless promises of abundant birds that always seem to belong to yesterday, never today. Around him swarm the "Dukklubbers" and "Dukhunters," men whose grand claims outshine the thin reality of the marsh. The satire sharpens as the narrator exposes the world of claim agents, high shooters, and rival blinds, where ducks are disputed, stolen, or claimed without a shot fired. Even a hard-earned limit brings no triumph: the hunter must hide his birds from envious eyes, only to lose the best of them to a host's cat overnight. In the end, an exclusive club with strict rules and high expectations proves no different, arriving at the same old excuse. The story's joke is eternal—duck hunters keep chasing the legendary "day before yesterday" because optimism is part of the sport. This edition has been fully restored with modern typesetting, custom cover design.

About the author

W. C. "Wilbur C." Tuttle was an American writer whose career unfolded during a period when popular fiction was helping shape the modern reading public, and he became known for crafting lively, accessible stories that captured the energy and anxieties of everyday life. Though not as widely remembered today as some of his contemporaries, Tuttle built a reputation through work that combined wit, observation, and a keen sense of character, earning readers with narratives that were entertaining while still grounded in recognizable human concerns. His fiction often reflects themes of memory, change, ambition, and the uneasy passage between old ways and new, making his writing feel surprisingly current in an age that still wrestles with rapid transformation and the pull of nostalgia. What gives Tuttle lasting interest is not only his place in the history of American popular literature, but also his ability to illuminate ordinary experience with warmth and clarity, reminding us that the small dramas of daily life can reveal larger truths about identity, community, and resilience. Readers who enjoy early twentieth-century fiction, character-driven storytelling, and authors who blend humor with social insight are especially likely to appreciate Tuttle's work.
