Summary

This vintage book contains a comprehensive guide to American fox hunting, with historical details, information on notable packs, descriptions of hounds and their different types, information on famous meetings and events, and much more. This book highly recommended for those with an interest in the history of American fox hunting, and would make for a fantastic addition to collections of allied literature. Contents include: "Red Fox Horn", "The Chase", "Business", "Old and Modern Hounds", "Gray Fox Horn", "George L. F. Birdsong", "'Uncle Wash' Maupin", "Birdsong and Maupin Dogs", "Letters from Famous Hunters", "'Dicks Dog'", "Jake", "Annie", "H. C. Trigg's Residence", "National Meet", "Buying and Selling", etc. This book was first published in 1890 and many vintage books such as this are increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on the foxhound.
