Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Huntsman of the South IT is the inexorable law of Nature that all liv ing creatures prey upon one another. By beak, talons, and claw the fight was commenced, and it will end only when this world is no more. To say that sporting is a cruel pastime is to ignore the fact that all fin, fur, and feather batten upon one another, and if the rifle or gun did not end their days, they would be killed anyway. I think the greatest gift Nature can bestow upon a child is to endow him with a love of the forest, the field, the stream, and to infect his blood with a longing for field sports. It will make the boy and the man stronger, healthier and hap pier. My sporting days commenced many years ago, on a big plantation bordering the Potomac River. Game was plentiful in those days when the muzzle-loader was king, and it was a woeful day for sportsman and game alike when the breech-loader and the pump-gun were invented.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wild Huntsman: A Legend of the Hartz Hunter was long a blasting tradition to the poor who lived on the skirts of Windsor Forest. In the Ross of outer Scotland and the Hebrides, the simple herdsmen were often terrified by his hoarse-winded horn, the din of the wild race of deer and dogs, and the ghostly hoofs quick beating over the hollow, mist-wrapped hills. Everywhere in Germany the tale was told; from the bleak northern lowlands to the deepest re cesses of the Black Forest in the South, where he was a wandering and undying Jew, who de nied Christ a drink from a horse-trough, and bade him lap the water collected in a hoof print.

Download or read book The Life of a Fox Written by Himself And Extracts From the Diary of a Huntsman Classic Reprint written by Thomas Smith and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-08 with total page 362 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Life of a Fox, Written by Himself, And, Extracts From the Diary of a Huntsman More than eight centuries have rolled by since the attention of that keen sportsman, William our Conqueror, was drawn to the excellent hunting to be enjoyed in the land watered by the Avon, the Stour, and the Test, which caused him to mark off the New Forest as a royal chase, and ensure its preservation by laws of merciless severity. Never, since that distant time, has Hampshire lost its sporting pre-eminence among the southern counties; in spite of changing fashions and altered tastes, it still remains a perfect microcosm of English field sports. Fresh developments, indeed, have only served to bring out new points of excellence in this favoured county, for it is here that the latest refinement of modern sport - angling for trout with the dry fly - had its origin and may be enjoyed in the greatest perfection. The Normans, perhaps, had no time or mind for mere games; war, and the mimicry of war, were their only pastimes, except the sport of kings. But with the establishment of civil peace and in the leisure afforded by growing wealth and security, Hampshire men applied themselves to excel in games of strength and skill. Hambledon disputes with Mitcham, in Surrey, the honour of having been the cradle of the premier British game, cricket; and the world admires the ease with which, in these latter days, the men Of Hampshire have applied themselves to golf.

Download or read book Hero in Homespun A Tale of the Loyal South Classic Reprint written by William E. Barton and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-04 with total page 428 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Hero in Homespun: A Tale of the Loyal South How much of this book is history and how much is fiction will be apparent to readers familiar with the history. To extend popular knowledge of the Civil War as it affected a large but almost unrecognized body of our people, this volume has been written. The form of fiction has been employed to permit a larger use of incident and personal experience, and to allow greater freedom of treatment, but the historical background is believed to be true to fact. I have thought well not to locate too definitely the home of my principal characters. The name and some of the characteristics of Roundstone Creek, in Rockcastle County, Kentucky, have been borrowed and removed to a valley some fifty miles remote. With this exception, the geography of the book is correct. I have had to allow my characters freedom of speech, even though they sometimes speak unwisely or too harshly. They lived in a day when men's passions ran high, and it would misrepresent them to tone down their utterances to the more temperate spirit of our time.
