George Leonard Herter
George Leonard Herter (24 May 1911 – 5 July 1994) of Waseca, Minnesota was the founder of the Herter's outdoor goods business and an author. His best known books are the ''Bull Cook and Authentic Historical Recipes and Practices'' series (published in three volumes), which have a cult following today.In 1937 Herter took his father's dry goods store and turned it into a mail order outdoor goods business, selling hunting and fishing items through a catalog. He later opened retail outlet stores, which pioneered the style of outdoor goods stores now operated by Cabela's and Bass Pro Shops. The company went bankrupt in 1981.
After the end of WW2 he was in Belgium for the US army where he met his wife Berthe Gramme Charleroi they had a son Jacques who was born on October 22 1945 (source Guns & Ammo Feb 1960) He is best known for his books, which were self-published and sold through his stores. The ''New York Times'' describes the ''Bull Cook'' series as his "magnum opus", "a wild mix of recipes, unsourced claims and unhinged philosophy that went through at least 15 editions between 1960 and 1970."
''How to Get Out of the Rat Race and Live On $10 a Month'', despite its title, is an encyclopedic 656-page collection of outdoor and survival skills.
The ''Bull Cook'' series and ''How to Get Out of the Rat Race'' are credited as co-written by George Leonard Herter and his wife, Berthe E. Herter. Provided by Wikipedia
