Theophilus Nash Buckingham (May 31, 1880 – March 10, 1971), commonly referred to as Nash Buckingham, was an American author and conservationist from Tennessee. He wrote a collection of short stories entitled De Shootinest Gent'man.[1]
He played college football for the Tennessee Volunteers, where he was captain and selected an All-Southern tackle in 1902.[2] The Volunteers won a school record six games in 1902 and beat rivals Sewanee and Georgia Tech. For many years after, Buckingham selected the All-Southern team for the Memphis Commercial Appeal.[3] He was nominated though not selected for an Associated Press All-Time Southeast 1869–1919 era team.[4]
Buckingham wrote nine books and hundreds of articles that regularly appeared in such magazines as Outdoor Life, Field & Stream, and Sports Afield and Recreation. His writings were often accompanied by photographs taken by the author himself.
