Book Description
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.

Book Description
Excerpt from A Century of English Fox-Hunting For a century the historian must rely upon trustworthy records. In regard to fox-hunting the records are numerous, ' but their authenticity is doubtful. At the beginning of the century the hunting correspondent was unknown, and it was left to the local poet to commemorate in rhyme the doings of the chase. The main object was to place the names of the local gentry in rhyme, bisect the product with local geography, and trisect the result with hunting phraseology. Masters of hounds, with a few exceptions, were either negligent in posting up their hunting diaries, or did not pretend to keep a diary. They cared nothing for fame, as presented by journalism nor could journalism have given them. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Life of a Fox: Written by Himself No Master of Foxhounds, alive or dead, has a greater right to be heard than Mr. Thomas Smith. The proof of the pudding is in the eating, and though it is not altogether true that the proof of the ability to show sport is the number of Foxes noses on the kennel door, the fact that Mr. Smith killed ninety Foxes in ninety-one days hunting in a Country which has no great reputation as a scenting country, is a piece of evidence in favour of his knowledge of woodcraft, and of his skill in applying it, which cannot be gainsaid, the more particularly when we take into account the epoch during which this remarkable feat was achieved. It is true that Mr. Smith hunted Hounds when the modern system of getting away close behind the Fox, and trying to burst him, had superseded the system that prevailed before 1750 of dragging up to the Fox and trying to hunt him down at the end of a long chase with Hounds that would have been beaten for pace in the first mile by those of Mr. Osbaldiston and Mr. Smith. But much of the contemporary evidence goes to show that Foxes were wilder in Mr. Smiths time in the sense that they probably had to travel long distances for their food, as there were fewer small coverts than exist to-day. Consequently there were fewer Foxes. It is true that these conditions were favourable to the Hounds in that their chance of changing Foxes was diminished. On the other hand the multiplication of small Fox coverts with artificial earths that has proceeded in the last fifty years makes the killing of a lot of Foxes, especially during the Cub-hunting, an easier matter than in the days of Mr. Thomas Smith.
