Excerpt from Fox Hunting in America The colony in Virginia, founded at Jamestown in 1607, was almost swept away by the great massacre in 1622, and for a year thereafter the colonists lived within stockades, never daring to wander beyond sight of a primitive fort. There is no record that fox hounds existed in the colony at that time and. Indeed, the records of the Virginia Com pany from 1619 to 1624 contained no mention of foxes, or hounds, or of hunting.

Excerpt from The American Fox-Hound I have received of late years so many letter from parties who have come into possession of what has become known as the Trigg Dog, and from others desiring to secure them, that I have at last decided to write this book, intended as a brief history of my dogs and those of Messrs. Birdsong and Maupin from which the Trigg Dog originated. I shall be brief, confining myself to facts gathered from my personal acquaintance with both Mr. Birdsong and Mr. Maupin and their dogs, and from my numerous correspondence with these and other famous lovers of the chase, extending over thirty-five years. Some of the letters I have submitted herewith, believing they would be interesting and instructive to the new generation of sportsmen. I have the greatest confidence in the strains mentioned herein, but the different modes of hunting the fox in various sections require certain qualities to predominate; then, there are "as many men of many minds" as there are dogs of "high and low degree." I believe, after twenty-five years acquaintance with them, during which time I have tested their speed, nose, hunting qualities, etc., with representative dogs from nearly every famous pack of the country, and from the evidence of their worth as testified to by many letters from those who have run them after various game in other States, that I have a strain of dogs at least as good as those of their famous ancestors or any of to-day. I know from almost daily experience that I can run to earth or catch the red fox. To those of you who have my dogs, and to you who have other strains, we invite correspondence. I will be glad to exchange information, experiences, etc. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Foxes, Foxhounds and Fox-Hunting Whether it be for better or worse we cannot tell, for hunting goes on despite the advent of the motor car, the rush of traffic, and the glass-like surface of the roads. It takes a lot to prevent a keen hunting man from following his favourite pursuit, and so despite the wire, the petrol fumes, and all the rest of it, big fields still forgather at every meet of hounds.

Excerpt from The Hunting Field With Horse and Hound in America: The British Isles and France Blessed be the thoughts and recollections That drive the ills and cares of life away, While they bring again serene re flections Of all the joys we had along the way. Cross Country with Horse and Hound has proved a happy disappointment, especially to the author. There being but few hunt clubs in America, it was argued that there were comparatively few who were personally interested in cross country riding to hounds; it was therefore With some misgivings that the book was brought to light. The effort, however, has received such hearty endorsement from the reading public in general, and has had such pleasant things said about it by the hunting fraternity in particular, both in England and America, that the writing of this second work has become doubly enjoyable. It may be said to have been undertaken in response to an encore. Next to a cross country ride itself, comes the pleasure of living it over again with whoever has the ear for hearing it, and an imagination keen enough to supply what neither pen nor pencil is able to produce.

Excerpt from Fifty Years' Fox-Hunting With the Grafton and Other Packs of Hounds One can readily understand a young man, with a taste for fox-hunting, looking forward with the hope of having a good time of it, to the period when he shall be established as a fox-hunter. With an aged man who has had a full share Of his favourite sport, the time arrives when he should be thankful for what he has received, and he naturally looks back and recalls the past events of his life. During my lengthened career I have met many of the best men of the day, and have enjoyed hunting with them to my heart's content.

Excerpt from A Century of English Fox-Hunting A preface must to a certain extent partake of the nature of an autobiography, and I fear that the majority of readers regard autobiographies with suspicion. Moreover, there are few books which require a preface to the first edition, though in subsequent editions it is only fair that the author should have an opportunity of making explanations in cases where he has been misunderstood. Nor, beyond acknowledging the kind help which I have received from friends and acquaintances, should I have made any prefatory remarks to the following pages, if it were not that I have been urgently persuaded to do so by those whose literary experience is far greater than my own. I have often heard it stated that the character of a book reflects the character of the author, and such undoubtedly must be the case when the book has any claim for originality. But in a work which only pretends to a moderate degree of research there can be little if any index to the character of the author, who accordingly should not be accused of personal vanity for writing a preface.

Excerpt from Some Unwritten Laws of Organized Foxhunting and Comments on the Usages of the Sport of Riding to Hounds in America One of the most detrimental things that could have occurred to organized hunting in America wasthe atmosphere of society rather than sports manship given to the early hunt clubs. Riding to foxhounds cannot properly exist in any locality in the world unless every member of the community is interested in its welfare. The noble sport has lived successfully through two cen turies in Great Britain because it has been con ducted in the most democratic manner possible, and mere social or financial status has nothing to do with one's privilege to subscribe to and hunt with the local hounds. His qualities as a true sportsman and his support of hunting according to his means are all the qualifications that are asked of a man. Hunt Clubs are practically non-existent in Great Britain, but let it not be thought for a moment that hunting organizations are not infinitely better managed than in America. It can truthfully be said that we, as a rule, have been hopelessly deficient in everything connected with organized hunting from showing ordinary courtesy to land owners, and the preservation of the hunting country as such, to the breeding and management of hounds. British hunting in modern times is generally on a subscription basis and managed by committees often elected by the subscribers or trustees, but never with the attitude of social superiority, often taken towards the rest of the community by the American hunt Club.
