Produktbeschreibung
H. A. Bryden, a veteran hunter of hares in England, discusses the history and evolution of hunting with dogs - his chronicle being accompanied by photographs and charts. Writing shortly after the turn of the 20th century, Bryden provides an insightful examination of hare hunting, noting how it had originally been in vogue during the 18th century. After a period where fox hunting took precedence, use of hounds to hunt hares experienced a resurgence in popularity, with the landed gentry up and down England and also in Ireland returning to the practice. Many practical elements of training dogs are mentioned: the breeds suitable, the food which promotes their vigor and stamina, the maintenance of their kennels, and the orientation of the hounds with the terrain. As hunts take place with large groups of dogs, it is crucial that the hunters gain aptitude in managing them even whilst on horseback. The later chapters of this book discuss various successful hunts, noting the special attention that the hunting party pays during and after the pursuit of the hares. The appendices offer further wisdom and lore from the hunting community of the time; poetry and a lengthy list of good hound names.

Autorenporträt
Henry Anderson Bryden was an English solicitor, athlete, and sportsman who played rugby for England in 1874. He was an avid hunter and naturalist who travelled extensively. He eventually became a professional author, writing about wildlife and his hunting exploits. Henry Bryden was born in Banbury on May 3, 1854, as the third son of William Anderson Bryden and Maria, William Cowper's daughter. He attended Brackenbury's Anglican Preparatory Military Academy before enrolling in Cheltenham College, where he left in 1869. At Cheltenham at the same time were his two older brothers, William Radford Bryden, an architect, and Charles Bryden, a potential England rugby union star. In addition to rugby football, Henry was a talented long-distance runner who won 37 races. He represented the South versus the North of England in 1875, finishing second to Walter Slade in the fastest amateur mile on record (4m 24.5s). Bryden played club rugby with Clapham Rovers, a team that competed in both rugby union and association football. From there, he was called up to England, where he made his lone international appearance against Scotland on February 23, 1874 at The Oval.
