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.
