This autobiography chronicles the life of Phil Robertson, the original Duck Commander and Duck Dynasty star, from early childhood through the founding of a family business. An NFL-bound quarterback, Phil made his mark on Louisiana Tech University in the 1960s by playing football and completing his college career with a master's degree in English. But Phil soon found himself leasing a bar, drinking too much, fighting and wasting his talents. He almost lost it all until he gave his life to God.

"This book is based on The legend of the Duck Commander as written by James F. Robertson"--T.p. verso.
