Book Description
The hunt, like the church, courthouse, and family, played an integral role in southern society and culture during the antebellum era. Regardless of color or class, southern men hunted. Although hunters always recognized the tangible gains of their mission—meat, hides, furs—they also used the hunt to communicate ideas of gender, race, class, masculinity, and community. Hunting was very much a social activity, and for many white hunters it became a drama in which they could display their capacity for mastery over women, blacks, the natural world, and their own passions. Nicolas Proctor argues in Bathed in Blood that because slaves frequently accompanied white hunters into the field, whites often believed that hunting was a particularly effective venue for the demonstration of white supremacy. Slaves interpreted such interactions quite differently: they remained focused on the products of the hunt and considered the labor performed at the behest of their owners as an opportunity to improve their own condition. Whether acquired as a reward from a white hunter or as a result of their own independent—often illicit—efforts, game provided them with an important supplementary food source, an item for trade, and a measure of autonomy. By sharing their valuable resources with other slaves, slave hunters also strengthened the bonds within their own community. In a society predicated upon the constant degradation of African Americans, such simple acts of generosity became symbolic of resistance and had a cohesive effect on slave families. Proctor forges a new understanding of the significance of hunting in the antebellum South through his analyses of a wealth of magazine articles and private papers, diaries, and correspondence.

Book Description
Excerpt from Life and Adventures of John Gaskins: In the Early History of Northwest Arkansas As I was one of the first settlers in the country, liv ing along the creek three miles below Eureka Springs for thirty-eight years, I will tell something about the discovery of that place. I had hunted all over these mountains - killed bears and panthers and many other wild animals in nearly every gulch or cave in that Vicinity. I have killed nine bears in the hollow near the Dairy Spring and many deer. For that was always a good place for them. My regular stopping place was the Rock House. Or cave, above the Basin Spring in which Alvah Jackson camped on his hunting trips. We Of ten camped there, using the Basin water for our coffee never imagining it was more than pure water, until Uncle Alvah camped there with them. They simp ly dipped the water up from the little basin. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
