Book Description
Hunting literature had its beginnings as early as the fourteenth century, when nobles hunted stag, bear, fox, and other game on horseback. As foxhunting grew in popularity, literary works that covered the sport flourished, as well. In Six Centuries of Foxhunting: An Annotated Bibliography, M. L. Biscotti has compiled all books produced in Great Britain and the United States that pertain to, or mention, foxhunting with hounds. Arranged alphabetically by author, more than 2000 titles are included. Each entry features details such as place and year of publication, publisher, book size, page count, illustrations, and binding. Nearly every title is also annotated with a description of the book’s contents, and biographical sketches are provided for the most notable authors. Narratives, histories, illustrated works, verse, fiction, and even anti-hunting literature all have their place in this volume. Six Centuries of Foxhunting also features more than thirty images of book covers and foxhunting illustrations. With appendixes that contain author, title, and illustrator time lines, and separate author and title indexes, this comprehensive bibliography is a valuable resource for researchers, book dealers and collectors, and foxhunters.

Book Description
Excerpt from Hoof Beats From Virginia Other Lands When the Marquis was sixteen, they "blistered" him, "fired" him, and then turned him out. He was dead lame in his off foreleg; he would never gallop again, they said, but that is not the end of the Marquis's life-story, on the contrary, the crowning triumph of the Marquis's existence was yet to come. Fullerton, whose horse he was, did not remember exactly why he had called him the Marquis, he said, unless it was because as a colt his arrogant pride and his courage suggested that of the old French aristocrats when they walked, smiling, to the guillotine. Fullerton had said at the time that if the Marquis ever broke his leg and had to be shot he would limp out into the paddock, with his head up, his nostrils dilated in that slightly contemptuous air he always wore (for the Marquis was descended from "Torchlights" on the male side), and would take his medicine like a gentleman and a sportsman.

Her interests led her to the scientific study of canine structure and movement and ground-shaking research that changed, and is still changing, widely-held beliefs about how dogs move. Curl up with this reminiscence of the life of a woman ahead of her time in her independence and passionate study of her interests and be inspired to follow your own instincts to live life more fully!
