Books About Foxhunting

[Ravencrest_Camp]

if I’m not wrong, I think Joe Thomas (Huntland) wrote a book on very many aspects about a pack of hounds, but I can’t remember the name. very interesting though.

I just did a quick search on the Open Library

http://openlibrary.org/

and with the keyword “fox hunt” there are 35 scanned books (all old - Pre 1920’s)
and 190 book titles.

keyword “fox hunting” brought back 212 scanned books and 769 book titles.
They do have 27 scanned Nimrod books, (he was the Andy Beyer of his time for the 1800’s hunting scene)

worth a look at esp. if you want to see older out of print books.

Yes,that’s the link I was trying to remember. Some very cool books there. I have saved a number of them to hard drive and plan to print them one of these days!

You can also find cool old books on the Amazon and etc sites- I got a 1930s book for $3.50 plus shipping a few years ago.
